A Los Angeles court has issued a temporary restraining order blocking a prolife group from releasing any video that features leaders of a California company called StemExpress.
In recent weeks, the Center for Medical Progress has released a series of videos showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted baby tissue.
The third video released features former StemExpress employee Holly O'Donnell. O'Donnell said she thought she was hired just to draw blood but ended up disecting the body parts of aborted babies.
CMP head David Daleiden said StemExpress is using "meritless litigation" to hide illegal activity.
"The Center for Medical Progress follows all applicable laws in the course of our investigative journalism work and will contest all attempts from Planned Parenthood and their allies to silence our First Amendment rights and suppress investigative journalism," he said.
Meanwhile, CMP has released yet another undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood executive negotiating a fetal body parts deal and how not to "get caught."
"Putting it under 'research' gives us a little bit of an overhang over the whole thing," Dr. Savita Ginde, vice president and medical director of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains, says in the video. "If you have someone in a really anti-state who's going to be doing this for you, they're probably going to get caught."
The Senate is scheduled to vote Monday to permanently defund the abortion provider.
"Elected officials need to listen to the public outcry for an immediate moratorium on Planned Parenthood's taxpayer funding while the 10 state investigations and three Congressional committees determine the full extent of Planned Parenthood's sale of baby parts," Daleiden said.
"Planned Parenthood's recent call for the NIH to convene an expert panel to 'study' fetal experimentation is absurd after suggestions from Planned Parenthood's Dr. Ginde that 'research' can be used as a catch-all to cover-up baby parts sales," he continued.
"The biggest problem is bad actors like Planned Parenthood who hold themselves above the law in order to harvest and make money off of aborted fetal brains, hearts, and livers," he said.
