Time to fight back against the smears

AP reports today that the Los Angeles Superior Court has issued a restraining order preventing the anti-choice group calling itself the “Center for Medical Progress” from releasing any videos targeting Stem Express, a California company that provides human and fetal tissue to medical researchers.

Apparently the Center for Medical Progress was planning to attack this company with a video showing three Stem Express officials taken under false pretenses at a restaurant in May. The temporary restraining order applies until a hearing scheduled for August 19.

CMP’s head fanatic, David Daleiden, issued a statement calling this TRO “meritless litigation” intended to conceal “illegal baby parts trade,” and said, “The Center for Medical Progress follows all applicable laws in the course of our investigative journalism work.”

Which may not be entirely true. For starters, California has laws against recording video without explicit permission from subjects, which the CMP clearly did not have in these cases. And they may also have broken laws against identity theft and falsifying identification.
