Stacked Deck Against Sandra

Oct 11, 2019

Pro-life hero Sandra Merritt is waging a steep uphill fight against Planned Parenthood. The abortion giant is demanding millions from her in a revenge suit now being tried in federal court.

Sandra exposed its ghoulish business of selling organs—brain, heart, liver, lungs and more—which are harvested from tiny, precious, innocent children it kills in its abortion chambers nationwide.

Now Planned Parenthood is furious and wants to financially ruin this 66-year-old grandmother and crush her First Amendment rights.

What makes this worse is that Sandra is fighting against a stacked deck.

First, Planned Parenthood filed suit in San Francisco, America’s most liberal city. That makes finding fair jurors a bit like locating needles in a haystack. The city is also home to the nation’s most liberal federal appeals court.

Second, the federal judge in this case has long-term ties to Planned Parenthood—as I share below.

That’s why I ask for your prayers and financial support.

Will you help defend Sandra with a gift today? Your generosity is crucial to her defense. We’re fighting America’s abortion giant in San Francisco with a judge linked to Planned Parenthood! The deck is stacked.

Your gift now will help even the odds!

I share details below about Judge William Orrick’s stunning ties to Planned Parenthood. –Mat

First, the good news.

It will take a unanimous verdict from a 12-member jury for Planned Parenthood to win its revenge suit demanding millions from pro-life hero Sandra Merritt.

That’s a high bar to pass. And Sandra did nothing wrong. But, the judge is shielding the jury from watching the videos that are at the heart of this case.

The facts and the law in the case are on her side. A grandmother, Sandra gave up her quiet life to go undercover and expose Planned Parenthood’s horrific business selling baby body parts.

She participated in a 30-month undercover campaign that captured damning footage of Planned Parenthood officials . . .

  • Haggling for the best price on body parts, even declaring, “I want a Lamborghini!”
  • Talking with casual cruelty about using “less crunchy” abortion techniques to obtain intact organs from tiny unborn children.
  • Bragging about the revenue earned by the sale of organs taken from aborted infants.

Because of videotaped revelations like these, Planned Parenthood is determined to destroy Sandra.

+ + Bias in the courtroom

And here’s the challenge: We’re up against abortion giant Planned Parenthood in San Francisco where the deck is stacked against her.

That's especially true because of U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick.

Appointed by President Barack Obama, Judge Orrick helped open and run a Planned Parenthood abortion referral center in San Francisco. He spent some 23 years working with a family recourse center which shares space and helps run the Planned Parenthood facility.

+ + Critically important legal battle

Sandra and her colleague, David Daleiden, exposed on video Planned Parenthood's ghoulish business of harvesting and selling brains, hearts, livers and more from precious, innocent tiny children.

Their revelations shook the abortion giant's bloody empire.

That's why Planned Parenthood, which kills some 330,000 infants every year, is fighting back tooth and nail. It’s desperate to salvage its damaged reputation. And to do that, it must take Sandra down.

It has dozens of attorneys working around the clock in a furious attempt to punish Sandra and send a stern message to anyone else following in her footsteps.

And, as I said earlier, the deck is stacked. The case is in ultra-liberal San Francisco. The judge is linked to Planned Parenthood. But your generosity now will help even the odds!

That's why I ask for your financial support.

This is the most expensive case in Liberty Counsel's history. The trial, with more than 60 witnesses, could go up to eight weeks. That means huge bills for hotel accommodations, airfare, food, court transcripts and more.

The cost for court exhibits alone will soar into the tens of thousands. All told, this trial's expense will go well into the high six figures.

Please pray and stand with Sandra now with your gift. Humanly speaking, the odds are long . . . but with God, all things are possible!

Your support now will make a real difference.



Thank you for your friendship and for standing with Sandra to defend her from this vicious and unjust attack!

For life and liberty,
