For some time, the pro-life movement
has been suspicious of California Attorney General (CAG) Kamala Harris’
relationship with Planned Parenthood (PP). After all, she gave the greenlight to the
sudden search of pro-life activist David Daleiden’s home. (Daleiden is the man behind the shocking PP videos
last summer that urged Congress to investigate the organization and introduce
bills to defund it.) Daleiden and his
group (the Center for Medical Progress) posed as a fetal tissue buyer and
secretly recorded PP employees negotiating the sale of fetal body parts. The footage exposed PP as greedy and
desensitized to the plight of unborn children. Yet, the pro-abortion PP argued the real sin
was Daleiden’s questionable tactics.
Now, pro-lifers may have some proof
that CAG Harris’ office was working together with PP to target Daleiden and his
pro-life efforts. New emails obtained by
the Washington Times appear to show
Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California (PPAC) influencing AB 1671 – a bill
that would make secretly recording communications with health care providers a
crime. The legislation was introduced
after Daleiden’s investigation. The
emails show Beth Parker, chief legal counsel for PPAC, sending multiple drafts
of AB 1671 to Jill Habig, who was at the time special counsel to the CAG.
Ms. Parker wrote in an email dated
March 8, 2016, “Attached is the language for AB 1671, proposed amendments to
Penal Code section 632. I look forward to
your thoughts about this.” Ms. Parker then
sent a revised draft of the legislation to Ms. Habig on March 16 stating,
“Here’s the rewrite of the video tape bill.
Let me know what you think.”
PP donated thousands of dollars to Democrat
Harris’ re-election campaign. Makes you
wonder – Is the CAG’s office rewarding PP … by allowing them to have direct
input to legislation?
