At the Texas Observer, Alexa Garcia-Ditta <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasobserver.org\/david-daleiden-planned-parenthood-indictment\/\">writes<\/a> what is ostensibly a hard news report on the development, but has so many misleading statements and crucial omissions that it reads more like a Planned Parenthood press release.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>First, the headline states that Daleiden only evaded the charge on a \u201ctechnicality.\u201d What technicality?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In her four-page order, [Harris County Court-at-Law Judge Diane] Bull wrote that the indictment does not include both that Daleiden intended to buy, sell or acquire human organs in violation of the law, and that he isn\u2019t subject to a legal exception that allows medical entities to recoup expenses for obtaining or transporting organs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Republican Harris County DA Devon Anderson said in an e-mailed statement to the Observer that Daleiden\u2019s defense team had never called for dismissal on the grounds identified by Bull.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Actually, Daleiden\u2019s clear lack of intent to go through with any transaction gets directly at the heart of why the charge was bogus, because the law he was accused of breaking <a href=\"http:\/\/dailysignal.com\/2016\/01\/26\/pay-no-attention-to-what-planned-parenthood-is-doing-behind-the-curtain\/\">expressly requires<\/a> intent for there to be a real violation\u2014an intent, by the way, that couldn\u2019t even have existed if, as Planned Parenthood apologists claim, PP officials never expressed a desire for illegal profits. This isn\u2019t a technicality; it\u2019s the essence of the charge.<\/p>\n<p>Second, Garcia-Ditta\u2019s opening paragraph repeats the mindless, dishonest talking point that CMP put out \u201ca series of deceptively edited videos.\u201d Neither a forensic analysis commissioned by pro-lifers, another forensic analysis <em>commissioned by Planned Parenthood and carried out by a pro-Democrat firm<\/em>, nor CNN <a href=\"\/news\/stop-presses-cnns-anderson-cooper-questions-planned-parenthood-deceptive-editing-narrative\/\">could identify any of the mythical deceptive edits<\/a>\u2026yet \u201creporters\u201d like Alexa here keep repeating it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s enough to hope that, after CMP is completely out of the woods, they sue a whole bunch of folks for libel. Dubious interpretations of murky issues are one thing; specific, quantifiable false claims against someone are another, and propagandists will never change until there are consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Third, she notes that the district attorney is a Republican (no mention that Anderson <a href=\"\/news\/da-charged-david-daleiden-admits-broke-law-calls-minor-harmless\/\">admitted she broke the law<\/a> in publicizing Daleiden\u2019s indictment prior to him being in custody or under bond, or that she <a href=\"\/news\/texas-prosecutor-creates-possible-conflict-interest-planned-parenthood-investigation\/\">failed to indict abortionist Douglas Karpen<\/a> despite ample evidence of his guilt and declined to take prosecutor Lauren Reeder off the case despite her ties to Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast), and that \u201ca Houston grand jury cleared the organization of any wrongdoing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Planned Parenthood was innocent, that would have meant they never sought anything more than cost reimbursement for baby parts. But if that\u2019s all that was on the table, then even if <em>Daleiden<\/em> had attempted to go through with a transaction, it wouldn\u2019t have been a crime. Oddly enough, Garcia-Ditta never stops to wonder about this inconsistency.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/liveaction.org\/petition\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-84611\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/NewDefundAd3.jpg\" alt=\"NewDefundAd3\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/NewDefundAd3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/NewDefundAd3-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, she repeats the \u201cPlanned Parenthood is totally innocent\u201d refrain:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">So far, no state investigation has turned up any wrongdoing. Federal law allows patients to donate fetal remains after an abortion; clinics are barred from profiting from the tissue donations but can charge tissue procurement companies for overhead costs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That only sounds conclusive if you don\u2019t know that <a href=\"\/news\/debunking-planned-parenthoods-claims-of-innocence\/\">the state where most of CMP&#8217;s footage was filmed<\/a>, California, never investigated Planned Parenthood, is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prochoiceamerica.org\/assets\/download-files\/2016-wd-report-card.pdf\">most pro-abortion state in America<\/a>, and is so dedicated to covering for Planned Parenthood that lawmakers are <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-sponsors-bill-to-make-it-illegal-to-record-and-post-undercover-footage\/\">moving to criminalize<\/a> undercover video investigations.<\/p>\n<p>Nor is it relevant to cite the legality of overhead costs when Planned Parenthood personnel <a href=\"\/news\/planned-parenthood-admits-to-breaking-federal-law\/\">are on video<\/a> talking about their desire for more than that\u2014paydays that must \u201cbe big enough that it is worthwhile,\u201d \u201cdo a little better than break even,\u201d etc.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s events saw an injustice partially set right in a court of law.
