Planned Parenthood is suing the pro-life group that released a series of undercover videos exposing its role in offering fetal tissue from aborted babies to harvesters for compensation.
The group Center for Medical Progress responded on Thursday that the lawsuit is "frivolous" and they have "done nothing more than tell the truth about Planned Parenthood's lawless operations."
The lawsuit, filed in a California district court, calls CMP a "complex criminal enterprise" and alleges that they created false companies and identifications, violated contracts, and illegally taped Planned Parenthood officials "with the ultimate goal of interfering with women's access to legal abortion."
Last summer, the Center for Medical Progress released a series of undercover videos featuring top Planned Parenthood doctors discussing the transfer of fetal tissue from aborted babies to harvesters for compensation. The videos were part of an investigative report on the organization's role in the fetal tissue trade, "Human Capital."
