What in the world is happening in Houston and Harris County? Seems like one doesn't want to be an unborn child there.

Houston is heavily Democrat, but not Harris County. Ogg wouldn't have a chance in the DA's race, but for this controversy over Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Attorney Admits Receiving Confidential Materials from Houston DA
Daleiden’s Motions Alleging Prosecutorial Misconduct and Collusion Prove True

The Thomas More Society announced today that recent court filings in the Houston-area civil and criminal cases against undercover journalist David Daleiden reveal that the Harris County District Attorney’s office illegally shared evidence with Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast attorney Josh Schaffer admitted in a sworn declaration that the DA’s office shared materials and information with Planned Parenthood, even after the Texas Attorney General’s office had forbidden them from doing so. The declaration was included as part of the DA office’s response to David Daleiden’s motion to quash the indictment against him, alleging prosecutorial misconduct.

A conservative attorney is out with bombshell evidence showing that Texas medical schools have been purchasing organs taken from aborted babies by Planned Parenthood. Briscoe Cain, the Texas legal counsel to the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, revealed invoices and emails showing the illegal sales. - See more at: http://www.empowertexans.com/features/t ...

If it wasn't for these folks doing this investigative reporting, the state would not be looking into Planned Murderhood.

In Texas, there was no scrutiny before these videos? I find that hard to believe. We are better than that, IMO. And we have been all over PP for years and years. Both in Texas and nationally.

If a person is complaining about not enough investigative reporting and then ripping it apart, there is a percentage of the complainers that are being hypocritical. But in and of itself, wanting something and wanting something done well doesn't make a person a hypocrite.

I think to be in context, you should need to quote the parts of the bible that say it is okay to give up/forego our integrity when dealing with abortion (or any other wrongs that we are dealing with). We can disagree on whether or not the actions of the video takers had integrity. I do not believe that we should be debating if integrity is disposable if the adversary is bad enough. I just don't see that in my scripture.

Lauren Reeder, one of the prosecutors in the Harris County district attorney’s office, revealed last August that she was a member of the board of directors for the Planned Parenthood affiliate that was targeted by Daleiden.

Reeder’s LinkedIn page indicates that she has been a Planned Parenthood board member since 2013 and a fundraiser for the abortion provider since 2009:

That is assuming they actually did break the law. The grand jury does not make that determination.

They also should not ignore another party breaking the law because it isn't politically correct.

For all the people condemning the indicted or cheering for Planned Parenthood, this should give you pause. The prosecuting attorney who obtained the indictment is an active board member of Planned Parenthood of Houston. That's not exactly an impartial public official.

I suspect the charges will either be thrown out or they will win at trial. AG Paxton also said the state will continue to investigate Planned Parenthood.

This was my thought as well. If we (generalization of conservatives) claim to be the party/group of integrity, I didn't see a lot of integrity in the editing/making of those videos.

Do you realize they also posted the entire unedited versions of the videos?


I agree, this is a sad time for Texas. If what they did is illegal, then every undercover police and reporting operation needs to be shut down and the perpetrators indicted.

I do know that they released those videos, and they weren't nearly as damning as the edited ones made them out to be. But the "main stream media" didn't really cover those videos, did they? Spin always sucks when the other team uses it. No one minds so much when "out team" uses it. I think that Philippians 4:8 applies here for me. Yes, I realize quoting scriptures is incredibly ineffective in most debates because a person can find one to say just about whatever they want if they dig far enough. But my point in my original post still stands. Let us be honorable. Let us be pure. let us be of good repute. Let us be true. Let us be worthy of praise. A paraphrase of Phil. 4:8.

_IF_ police and reporters and breaking the law or possibly breaking the law, I hope that lots and lots of grand juries are looking into them. Undercover does not automatically mean fraudulent or illegal.
