New CMP Video Details How Planned Parenthood Pads Invoices for Profit

HOUSTON, Feb. 4, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- The Center for Medical Progress has released a new video detailing how Planned Parenthood used bogus line-item entries to hide profits from the sale of aborted baby remains.

The video focuses on invoices obtained by Operation Rescue's Texas attorney Briscoe Cain through Freedom of Information Act requests and connects the dots to Planned Parenthood's duplicitous book-keeping scheme with clips from the CMP's undercover investigation at the Houston Planned Parenthood, one of the largest volume late-term abortion facilities in the country.

"The invoices clearly show how Planned Parenthood padded invoices in such a way as to hide the fact they were making illegal profits," said Operation Rescue Senior Vice President Cheryl Sullenger. "This is not only hard evidence that Planned Parenthood broke the law, but also shows that The Harris County grand jury indicted the wrong people."

A Harris County Grand Jury recently indicted CMP leader David Daleiden and his associate, Susan Merritt, who conducted the on-site undercover sting in Houston. While the same grand jury is said to have "cleared" Planned Parenthood, Operation Rescue has uncovered evidence that bias in the office of District Attorney Devon Anderson tainted the process and turned the investigation against the whistleblowers who reported evidence of Planned Parenthood's obvious criminal conduct.

Daleiden and Merritt will turn themselves in at the Harris County Courthouse on Thursday when a press conference by national leaders will present over 100,000 signatures calling on Anderson to drop the charges against Daleiden and Merritt.

A coalition of pro-life leaders, including Sullenger of Operation Rescue, plan to present over 100,000 signatures to Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson after a press conference also Thursday morning.

Operation Rescue President Troy Newman served as a founding Board Member for the Center for Medical Progress. He, along with Daleiden and others, have been sued in a San Francisco Federal Court by Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation, who are attempting to use the courts to silence the evidence against them deflect public attention from their own wrongdoing.

"We call on District Attorney Devon Anderson to resign due to her inability to conduct her duties without bias," said Sullenger. "We also call for all charges to be dropped against Daleiden and Merritt and for special prosecutors to reopen the Planned Parenthood and Karpen cases."

Houston abortionist Douglas Karpen was accused by former employees of murdering babies who were born alive during late-term abortions, but was "cleared" by another Anderson grand jury in 2013. Karpen was represented by attorney Chip Lewis, who is a personal friend of Anderson's and is her largest political donor, who recently indicated he has improper inside knowledge of both grand juries.
