Breaking: CA Authorities Raid Home of Anti-Planned Parenthood Operative David Daleiden
Center for Medical Progress head David Daleiden’s dishonest scheme to destroy Planned Parenthood continues to fall apart; his home in Orange County was raided today and computers and hard drives were seized by the California Department of Justice.
The National Abortion Federation, a professional organization for abortion providers that was also targeted in Daleiden’s videos, lauded news of the raid.
“We fully support a thorough investigation into the activities perpetrated by David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress,” president Vicki Saporta said in a statement. “As the evidence has shown in our case, he engaged in a long-running criminal conspiracy. His actions are not without consequences.”
Saporta said the videos have led to a spike in threats and violence against abortion clinics.
“David Daleiden’s lies are catching up with him,” Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Erica Sackin said in a statement. “The only people who engaged in wrongdoing are the extremists who broke multiple laws to spread lies about Planned Parenthood — and it looks like they’re finally being held accountable.”
