"Baby Parts" PP video fakers get bad news from Supreme Court: Show us the MONEY. [View all]

http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/12/06/supreme-court-just-gave-some-very-bad-news-to-the-maker-of-those-planned-parenthood-videos/

On Friday, the group was denied an emergency appeal by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who oversees appeals from California, in an attempt to avoid a district court order forcing them to disclose fully a list of their key donors and supporters. (emphasis mine TD)

Since the emergency plea to the high court was almost immediately rejected as it was filed, it looks like the world will soon know who financed those awful videos after all. It’s about time – no longer will they be able to hide in secret behind a curtain while the group does its dirty work.

The group has been dodging for some time. The National Abortion Federation set everything in proper motion, after alleging in a lawsuit that the center’s members were only able to get into Planned Parenthood’s meetings by lying about themselves and falsely promising not to reveal the contents of those meetings.

A federal judge agreed and says it’s now time to cough up. Judge William Orrick isn’t one to mince words either, saying in the order: “It’s time to end this shell game.”
