The preliminary hearing for Center for Medical Progress (CMP) investigators David Deleiden and Sandra Merritt is\u00a0well underway<\/a> with testimony that includes a prominent Planned Parenthood abortionist. On Thursday, the former Planned Parenthood abortionist known as Doe 9 continued her testimony and admitted that the CMP undercover videos<\/a> of her which played during the hearing were not edited after initially claiming they were.<\/p>\n

Doe 9, who was granted anonymity by the court, took the stand on Wednesday and lied. According to a tweet from CMP, she claimed the “videos were edited to make her say things she didn’t say.” When she retook the stand on Thursday, CMP<\/a> said she continued “to play games with the court.”<\/p>\n

Daleiden and Merritt’s defense lawyers moved to impeach Doe 9, saying that her sworn deposition testimony in the civil federal case was not in line with her sworn testimony in the preliminary criminal case hearing. As reported by Court House News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

On cross examination, Merritt\u2019s attorney Horatio Mihet asked Doe 9 whether she cared that the tape had been made public. When Doe 9 answered yes, he impeached her with a transcript of her deposition from Planned Parenthood\u2019s civil case against the Center for Medical Progress, where Doe 9 said, \u201cI haven\u2019t done anything wrong in the videos. It doesn\u2019t matter to me if they\u2019re released publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also asked her whether she thought their conversation could be overheard by the server and other restaurant staff who could be seen passing by.<\/p>\n

California\u2019s penal code excludes from a confidential communication any conversation that can be reasonably overheard or recorded; an important aspect of Merritt\u2019s and Daleiden\u2019s defense.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Doe 9 admitted that the CMP video clips of her in a lunch meeting with Daleiden and played during the preliminary hearing were not altered<\/em><\/strong>, however, she refused to answer yes or no questions.<\/p>\n

\"Doe<\/p>\n

According to LifeSiteNews<\/a>, descriptions of Doe 9’s testimony seem to point to Doe 9 as the Planned Parenthood abortionist seen in the first undercover video released by CMP back in 2015. In this video, then-Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola spoke about how abortionists made a habit of altering abortion procedures in\u00a0order to keep the babies’ heads intact for the procurement companies. During the hearing, she refused to clarify what she meant when she said abortionists would move the position of the baby to feet-first before the abortion. The abortion procedure known as “partial-birth abortion<\/a>” in which preborn babies are delivered feet-first in the breech position before being killed is illegal, but a Planned Parenthood staffer has described<\/a> how abortionists use documentation to get around the ban.<\/p>\n
