Planned Parenthood has been Defamed! Sue those responsible for libel ! !

[Rotegard]

"Between 1992 and August 2004, 41 criminal defamation cases were brought to court in the United States, among which six defendants were convicted. From 1965 to 2004, 16 cases ended in final conviction, among which nine resulted in jail sentences (average sentence, 173 days). Other criminal cases resulted in fines (average fine, $1,700), probation (average of 547 days), community service (on average 120 hours), or writing a letter of apology." Wikipedia

When someone spreads damaging lies about an important charity(501C-3) like Planned Parenthood they should expect significant push back through the courts. Friends of women's rights need to hit the producers and distributors of that "baby parts" video into court and clean their clock!

1. I totally agree. The time is way overdue to go on the offensive.
