Prosecuting Journalists

 

Liberty Counsel has filed a several-hundred-page petition with the U.S. Supreme Court in one of the most important cases involving free speech and freedom of the press. 

The future of undercover journalism and investigative reporting is at stake. 

Investigative journalism, such as that done by James O’Keefe and others, hangs in the balance of this case.

The case is Sandra Merritt v. Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

No reporter or journalist in California history has been prosecuted for exposing a corporation’s crimes — that is, until Planned Parenthood was exposed. 

Now Sandra has been slapped with more than 16 million dollars in fees and fines for exposing their gruesome trade in baby body parts.

Defend this brave grandmother who exposed Planned Parenthood’s multimillion-dollar baby parts scheme. Select here.

FRIEND,

Sandra Merritt’s extensive undercover operation caught abortionists, clinic staff, and others on film openly admitting their greed for money and their willingness to break the law through the unlawful sale of human body parts. 

And worst of all, the sickeningly evil DISSECTION of LIVE BABIES.

Sandra Merritt’s undercover journalism exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal activities. 

But Sandra is the only one getting punished. 

Now Liberty Counsel has taken her case to the Supreme Court.

Sandra’s videos capture the cavalier manner in which abortionists sorted through dissected baby parts. 

Severed arms and legs of babies born just hours before were arranged in what resembles baking dishes. 

The amputated appendages were arranged next to lungs ripped from tiny chests. 

Two tiny orbs glistened at the edge of the dish. 

They were the eyeballs of an 18-week-old twin plucked from the child’s skull earlier that day.

This was no gruesome horror movie. 

This was a sales display for a grotesque and illegal “Baby Parts for Sale” scheme.
 

Don’t let Planned Parenthood SILENCE truth!

Sandra’s videos caught the abortionists openly discussing how they violate the law to increase profits. 

On film, the executives and doctors are seen:

  • Gloating about getting away with late-term abortions (the lie about the baby’s gestational age).

  • Endangering women’s lives by illegally changing surgical procedures to “procure” better “specimen” (baby parts) so they can charge higher prices and reap more profits.

  • Defending the sale price of these unlawful activities because the doctor “wants to buy a Lamborghini.”

Facing up to 10 years in prison and over 16 million dollars in fines, Sandra Merritt’s only hope has been her representation by Liberty Counsel.

What Sandra did IS NOT illegal. 

In fact, Sandra Merritt is the first undercover journalist in all of California’s history to be prosecuted for undercover journalism.

But that’s what happens when you anger and expose the modern-day 1.7 billion-dollar-a-year “Jezebel.” 

They come at you with guns blazing.

Thank God for good people like you, whose generous donations make our mission possible. 

Without your donations, Sandra would not be able to defend herself against Planned Parenthood’s legal onslaught.

Without Liberty Counsel’s free legal representation, Sandra would likely be resigning herself to a long prison term and large fines — all for exposing Planned Parenthood’s bloody practices.

As a result of Sandra’s reporting, Congress held hearings and recommended prosecution of Planned Parenthood. 

But the Obama administration looked the other way.

The undercover investigation also spurred the successful prosecution of a tissue procurement company by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, which credited Sandra Merritt’s undercover work for its success. 

The tissue procurement company was liable for 7.8 million dollars — and shuttered its doors.

Finally, the State of Texas canceled Medicaid provider contracts with Planned Parenthood after determining — based on Sandra’s work — that a local affiliate “violated federal regulations relating to fetal tissue research by altering abortion procedures for research purposes or allowing the researchers themselves to be involved in performing abortions.” 

The Court of Appeals sided with Texas.

Sandra is not an activist. 

She prayed and felt God leading her to do what she could to expose this crime against humanity. 

Now Sandra and our team need your prayers and support as we take this case to the High Court.

Without the help of friends like you, Planned Parenthood would have scrubbed Sandra’s videos from the internet, hiding their heinous acts forever. 

Without friends like you, Liberty Counsel could not afford to defend a pro-life hero like Sandra Merritt.

Without the prayers and financial support of Liberty Counsel’s many friends, Sandra Merritt would already be in prison.

Liberty Counsel never charges for our legal work. Few could afford to take on the multibillion-dollar abortion industry or its well-placed political friends. In addition to defending Sandra, Liberty Counsel has multiple other cases pending before the courts, including representing religious freedom rights for health care workers, military members, sidewalk counselors, and change counsel providers, among others.

Our work ensures that life, religious liberty, and the natural family will be protected and respected in courtrooms across America. But we cannot do this important work without help.
