A pro-life leader says he will appeal a multi-million dollar judgment handed down by a federal court last week in San Francisco, CA.

The court awarded Planned Parenthood and affiliates damages in excess of $2.3 million in their civil case against undercover journalist David Daleiden and several of his associates. Planned Parenthood sued Daleiden and his colleagues after the 2015 release of a series of investigative videos that exposed Planned Parenthood's trafficking in aborted baby body parts.

Daleiden's undercover videos were so shocking, Congress issued criminal referrals for Planned Parenthood, and numerous states and elected officials have moved to strip funding from the abortion provider.

But a California court found Daleiden and the defendants guilty on a host of charges, including RICO, the federal Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations law—a federal law that triples any damage award. The defendants also must pay punitive damages exceeding $800,000.

 

The Thomas More Society has announced it will appeal the judgment on behalf of Daleiden and his organization, the Center for Medical Progress.
