David Daleiden and his “Center for Medical Progress” want to keep it secret how they secretly filmed and deceptively edited videos attacking Planned Parenthood over legal fetal tissue donation practices, but the courts are not going along with that secrecy agenda. A panel from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said the CMP would have to participate in discovery, which would mean turning over a lot of information to the National Abortion Federation in one case, and:

In a separate case against CMP brought by StemExpress, the tissue procurement company featured in some of Daleiden’s videos, a judge in the Los Angeles Superior Court said Tuesday that Daleiden has to turn over documents in that case as well.The ruling allows StemExpress — which worked with Planned Parenthood clinics before becoming embroiled by the scandal — to obtain documents, communications and certain unedited footage from the Center for Medical Progress.

The CMP can appeal the 9th Circuit decision to the Supreme Court, but it looks likely that one way or another, we’ll be finding out a lot more of what went on behind the scenes as these James O’Keefe wannabes built their deception and teed up a widespread attack on Planned Parenthood by congressional Republicans, Republican presidential candidates, and Republican governors.
