I wish you could meet Sandra Merritt. She's a wonderful person -- a faithful grandmother who the Lord used to expose some of Planned Parenthood's dirtiest secrets.
And for that, she's facing one of the most hostile legal attacks we've ever seen. And the fight is getting more intense. In the next 45 days, we’ll be defending Sandra in two intense courtroom clashes.
Sandra needs our help in her fight against California's Attorney General and Planned Parenthood. Liberty Counsel's legal team is defending Sandra on two legal fronts and the next 45 days are critical.
I must commit all the necessary legal resources to successfully engage these battles. Will you help? Give now to see your generosity effectively doubled by the $100,000 Challenge Grant.
Please see my update below on the importance of these legal battles —Mat.
Sandra Merritt's courageous undercover work as an investigative journalist exposed Planned Parenthood's barbaric practices of harvesting organs from babies and selling them for profit. The videos she helped to produce stirred the conscience of America.
But in a sickening twist, Sandra is literally fighting for her freedom against 15 baseless and politically motivated felony charges. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra—who has pocketed thousands in campaign donations from Planned Parenthood—is using the vast resources of his office to punish Merritt for her undercover work exposing his benefactor!
The fact is, Becerra should be investigating Planned Parenthood based on the evidence that has been uncovered!
But it's Sandra who's facing jail time.
It's Sandra coming under attack from an extremely aggressive Leftist Attorney General.
It's Sandra who's facing bullying and intimidation from Planned Parenthood's legal army.
+ + We are seeking justice for our client.
This is a selective, highly discriminatory, and politically motivated prosecution. Liberty Counsel has shown that no other citizen journalist or journalism organization has ever been charged by the state of California with a crime for undercover recordings made in the public interest. When law enforcement selectively targets people, everyone should be concerned.
To make matters worse, Planned Parenthood is also deploying its legal war chest in a very aggressive civil suit against Sandra. The abortion giant—a $1.7 billion corporation—is deploying its massive resource to crush Sandra in a lawsuit seeking $16 million.
As you know, we do not charge Sandra or any client for representation. Liberty Counsel relies on a faithful team of supporters like you to stand with us as we fight each critical battle.
Today, we urgently need YOUR HELP!
+ + The fight for Sandra's freedom will turn red hot in September...
September will be an extremely busy and demanding month. We are going into court on September 3, less than three weeks from now, for a critical 10-day “preliminary hearing” in the criminal case against Sandra.
And the trial in Planned Parenthood’s civil lawsuit is set to begin on September 30.
Both cases are extremely expensive and both court dates hit within a month. That’s why I ask for your generous support now. Please prayerfully consider making your best possible tax-deductible gift to Liberty Counsel today.
We are up against an ARMY of prosecutors and support staff with a massive budget. The state of California has made it clear that they will spare no expense to convict Sandra. And Planned Parenthood’s legal war chest is flush with cash.
That's why I'm asking the Liberty Counsel team to step forward in a big way to keep us on track with this crucial fight as well as other vital cases across the country.
You make our defense of Sandra and others possible with your tax-deductible gifts. Your support helps us stand against Planned Parenthood's efforts to crush whistleblowers!
The next 45 days are absolutely critical for both cases against Sandra Merritt. Please stand with her now and help us defend her against these baseless attacks!
God bless you for partnering with Liberty Counsel to defend Sandra against Planned Parenthood’s outrageous assault!

P.S. Sandra has bravely stood up to a heavily funded corporation and exposed the truth of their brutal practices. She should be celebrated, not punished by our legal system. We cannot allow Planned Parenthood to win when they're the ones who should be on trial! Help the fight for Sandra continue!
