Rather than prosecute Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast for exchanging human organs for “valuable consideration”, which just so happens to be a felony under both federal and Texas state law, a Houston grand jury decided in late January that David Daleiden of the Center for Medical Progress (the non-profit organization responsible for the revealing series of videos published last year) should be indicted instead!
 

Daleiden, as LifeSite News relates, had dedicated 2 1/2 years of his life to…

… infiltrating the abortion industry, offering large sums of money in exchange for aborted babies’ body parts, and filming Planned Parenthood officials’ all-too-willing reactions.

More offended by his methods in obtaining the evidence than by the egregious evidence itself, the grand jury indicted Daleiden on two charges, a felony charge of tampering with a governmental record (another employee, Sandra Merritt, was indicted on this charge as well) and a misdemeanor count related to purchasing organs. [If convicted, they each face up to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine!]

While the case still needs to go to trial and certainly an indictment doesn’t mean Daleiden is guilty—remember, the grand jury only had to feel there was enough evidence against him to proceed—the fact that Planned Parenthood was cleared while Daleiden was not speaks volumes about our culture’s twisted sense of what is legally and morally right.

“If David’s investigation had revealed evidence of criminal conduct in a meatpacking plant, his freedom would not be threatened. The videos would be seen as providing a valuable public benefit and prosecutors would act on the information,” said Alexandra Snyder, an attorney with Life Legal Defense Foundation.

A hearing has been scheduled for March 28. Let’s pray that real justice will prevail.
