Anti-Abortion Propaganda is Big Bu$ine$$

Mother Jones calls the recent release of gotcha videos part of an annihilation campaign against Planned Parenthood, and that’s pretty accurate. It is a campaign with paid staff. David Daleiden, the rabble rouser behind the latest skirmish, started an entire nonprofit to get paid for lying about what Planned Parenthood does.

It was in high school, too, that Daleiden met Lila Rose, a pro-life activist who has often used similar undercover video tactics to attack Planned Parenthood, once in conjunction with James O’Keefe, the conservative activist who produced the 2009 ACORN videos, whom she met when she was a freshman at UCLA, according to Newsweek.
