California’s attorney general who commissioned the raid on the home of
anti-abortion activist and undercover journalist David Daleiden is being
criticized for a conflict of interest in seeking to convict Daleiden.
FoxNews.com reports that Kamala Harris, California’s Democratic
attorney general, is running for U.S. Senate, and her campaign website
has a link to a petition in support of Planned Parenthood.
Many are calling Harris’s obvious support of Planned Parenthood and
simultaneous prosecution of the anti-abortion activist whose undercover
videos allegedly expose the clinic’s illegal practices a conflict of
interest.
Harris dispatched 11 agents to Daleiden’s home to confiscate evidence
in the case against Daleiden and fellow undercover journalist Sandra
Merritt. The agents took Daleiden’s laptop and hard drives, although
Daleiden said they did not take documents which he says implicate Planned Parenthood in the sale of fetal body parts.
Daleiden and the organization he founded, the Center for Medical
Progress, filmed and released more than a dozen undercover videos
purporting to show Planned Parenthood officials discussing the
extraction and sale of fetal tissue obtained in abortions.
Planned Parenthood was initially prosecuted, but a grand jury acquitted
the clinic and instead indicted Daleiden and Merritt on felonies such
as using a fake driver’s license as part of the undercover project.
“Kamala Harris is engaged in the highest level of corruption and abuse
of power,” said Penny Nance, of Concerned Women for America. “While she
uses her KGB-like tactics to seize personal property of an innocent
American citizen, she’s simultaneously running for U.S. Senate and using
her campaign web site to promote and defend Planned Parenthood and its
atrocious practice of harvesting, trafficking and selling baby parts.”
