LIBERTY COUNSEL 10/26/2019 IN COURT WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD

I’m still in awe at what happened this week in court! It shows what happens when friends like you pray and give.

God is hearing our prayers and this week He answered in a powerful way as we defend pro-life hero Sandra Merritt against Planned Parenthood’s vicious federal suit demanding millions from her.

It’s an intense battle. We’re fighting the nation’s most powerful abortion business—a $1.7 billion corporation with almost unlimited resources and staggering political clout.


With more than 60 witnesses, this trial may last eight weeks. It’s the most expensive in Liberty Counsel’s 30-year history. It’s also one of the most crucial cases in the battle to protect preborn children.

And because we do not charge to represent Sandra or other clients, we’re only able to defend her with help from friends like you.

Please pray and be as generous as you can to help us fight!

Conservatives,

Liberty Counsel’s attorneys defending Sandra Merritt have been in a running, almost-daily battle in court to show crucial video evidence exposing Planned Parenthood’s gruesome commerce in human organs ripped or cut from the little babies it kills.

U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick—a man with past ties to Planned Parenthood—has repeatedly censored the evidence. And sometimes his denials have been issued in anger.

But this week, we saw the impact of your prayers—along with your gracious, much-appreciated, (and much-needed) financial support.

Liberty Counsel Chief Litigation Counsel Harry Mihet is leading our defense of Sandra and gives you the first-hand report of what you helped make possible . . . 

We have been fighting with Planned Parenthood and arguing with the Court for FOUR WEEKS to show the jury this video. It is the video that started it all. In this 20/20 UNDERCOVER investigation, published in 2000, Chris Wallace exposed the gruesome and grotesque baby parts trade, using almost identical undercover techniques as David and Sandra.

And yet, by 2013, NOTHING had been done to Planned Parenthood, so David and Sandra reasonably believed a follow up investigation was needed.

Planned Parenthood has been fighting us tooth and nail to keep this powerful video away from the jury. Today, PP lost, and we were allowed to finally play the video in open court!

Not only that, but the Lord worked it in such a way that it was the very last thing the jury saw today, and now — being visibly impacted — they have the evening to ponder exactly WHY Sandra and her colleagues are on trial.

The words of then-President of Planned Parenthood, Gloria Feldt, towards the end of the video are ironically prophetic and poetic:
“Where there is wrongdoing, it should be prosecuted, and people who are doing that kind of thing [profiting from selling baby parts] should be brought to justice.”
Amen! From her mouth to God’s ears.

Friends, there is NO DOUBT that your prayers are working in a powerful way. Pray for maximum impact and for the rivers of Justice to flow!

+  +  With your help, we're fighting an evil empire

Again, thank you for partnering with us and for praying. Both are needed—in a big way.

We’re literally up against an evil empire. There’s no other way to say it. Planned Parenthood is a $1.7 billion corporation that murders 330,000 babies annually. Its motto, incredibly, is “Care. No matter what.”

But, of course, it has no care—certainly no compassion—for the tiny, innocent, victims it dismembers and kills in its facilities nationwide.

That’s why this fight matters so much . . . and why your help is so needed.

+  +  Help us defend Sandra . . . and the unborn

Sandra Merritt is a pro-life hero who courageously went undercover to expose to the world stunning evil that has been going on for decades inside Planned Parenthood “clinics.”

Now the abortion giant is out to destroy her—to ruin her financially and rob her First Amendment freedoms.

We’re halfway through a trial that, I believe, is pivotal in the fight to defend unborn children in America.

Planned Parenthood has a small army of high-priced lawyers from one of the nation’s largest law firms fighting for it in court. But we have pro-life, engaged friends like you!

This is the costliest case in Liberty Counsel’s history. The total bill will run into the high six figures.

Will you help us defend Sandra with a gift today?

 

Please partner with Liberty Counsel to defend Sandra and be as generous as you can!

I’m grateful to God for you—and what you make possible as we fight in court to defend Sandra . . . and helpless, voiceless preborn babies!

With gratitude,
Mat Staver,
Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel
