Planned Parenthood sues anti-abortion group that exposed the horrific practices with revealing undercover videos

'This entire smear campaign is a fraud built on illegal acts and a web of lies.'

Planned Parenthood officially filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday against the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). Planned Parenthood claims CMP was involved in illegal activities and is guilty of fraud and defamation.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - CMP is known best for its video documentary of several levels of infiltration into Planned Parenthood's murderous and illegal actions.

The charges against CMP include violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO Act), fraud, invasion of privacy, illegal secret recording and trespassing.

The RICO Act is a federal law in the United States that allows leaders of a syndicate to be tried for crimes in which they ordered others to perform. The Act combats the loophole that allows leaders to be exempt as they did not personally commit the crime.

Dawn Laguens, the vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, held a conference call with Reuters, in which she clarified: "This case is about a network of anti-abortion extremists and the laws they broke in order to spread lies and harm Planned Parenthood. This entire smear campaign is a fraud built on illegal acts and a web of lies."

Unable to face the truth, Planned Parenthood wrote a 65-page complaint to call CMP a "complex criminal enterprise."

Despite the overwhelming evidence indicating otherwise, Planned Parenthood maintains they are not responsible for killing babies from within the womb to sell fetal tissues and organs.

The organization admitted it donated fetal tissue for medical research, which is legal in the United States, but continues to deny its selling of tissues collected for the sole purpose of collecting profits.

The disgusting and sinful practices of murdering innocents were exposed in 2015 with several releases of undercover audio and video recordings.

The videos led to demands of defunding of Planned Parenthood in several cities across America. 
In addition to the charges, Planned Parenthood is suing CMP for compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorney's fees.

Planned Parenthood's attorneys added that they plan to seek unspecified damages as well.

In response to the claim, CMP simply stated, "This last-ditch move of desperation is going to expose all of the sordid dealings of the California Planned Parenthood affiliates."
