Our client Sandra Merritt is a pro-life hero who helped expose Planned Parenthood's grotesque trade in human body parts taken from preborn babies who the ruthless abortion giant kills.
But there's another dark secret in Planned Parenthood's closet. Read below and stand with Liberty Counsel as we defend Sandra Merritt against Planned Parenthood's vicious legal assault —Mat.

If you want to understand Planned Parenthood today, look at its radical founder, Margaret Sanger. Her shadow still hangs over the organization she launched—and Planned Parenthood celebrates her to this day.
For Sanger, the most pressing problem afflicting any society was too many babies—make that too many of the "wrong kind" of babies. She called them "unfit" and her life's mission was to eliminate them. As she said . . .
"The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
"The most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective."
A "birth control" pioneer, Sanger wanted to purge society of people she derided as "feeble minded" and "physically and mentally defective."
To her, the so-called "unfit" included people like the musician with Down Syndrome who ran to hug President Donald Trump Saturday night. He did so after he and other members of the Israeli Shalva Band performed a spectacular performance of "God Bless America."
+ + Nothing more than a "human weed" . . . to be eliminated
It was a wonderful, deeply touching moment. But Sanger would eliminate this musician because he has Down Syndrome. To Sanger, he is nothing more than a "human weed"—someone to be yanked from "our garden," as she put it.
One way to do that, Sanger said, is "immediate sterilization . . . making sure that parenthood is absolutely prohibited to the feeble-minded."
Another way is abortion.
A self-declared "rebel woman," Sanger endorsed what she called the "right to destroy" – a.k.a. abortion.
As she told women in a 1914 pamphlet entitled "Family Limitation" . . .
"Never allow a pregnancy to run over a month. If you are going to have an abortion, make up your mind to it in the first stages, and have it done."
There's more. Sanger also spoke to the Ku Klux Klan and led what she called her "Negro Project." It was an effort to eliminate more of the "unfit"—in this case poor blacks in the American south.
Because some blacks were likely to suspect Sanger's motives, she wrote:
"We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
+ + Sanger is still Planned Parenthood's hero
Despite all this, Planned Parenthood celebrates Margaret Sanger today. Its Sanger Award is the abortion firm's highest honor. Past awardees include Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.
And despite its racist roots, Planned Parenthood today is a politically powerful $1.7 billion business with abortion at the "core" of its mission. It commits some 330,000 abortions annually and took in $563 million from taxpayers in 2017.
+ + Planned Parenthood is out to crush and bankrupt Sandra Merritt
And it's using all the group’s power and wealth in a fierce attempt to crush and bankrupt pro-life hero Sandra Merritt. But with your help, we're fighting back on Sandra's behalf.
We're appealing a misdirected jury's $2.2 million trial verdict in Planned Parenthood's baseless civil lawsuit against Sandra and her colleagues who exposed the abortion giant.
And we're fighting the frivolous criminal indictment lodged against Sandra by Planned Parenthood's puppet, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, that was initiated by his pro-abortion predecessor, now-Senator Kamala Harris.
Just last Friday, with your help, the state criminal judge rejected five more counts against Sandra. And we're fighting now to have the whole case thrown out.
But we can't do that without you.
This is, by far, the most expensive case in Liberty Counsel's history. We're up against the combined might of the state of California and the nation's largest abortion business.
Both have put a huge target on Sandra's back. And they're working together to financially ruin her and throw her behind bars.
+ + Hideous truth in high-resolution color
All because she revealed the heinous truth—in high-resolution color video—about how Planned Parenthood profits off the bodies of the babies it kills.
And how it harvests beating hearts from living babies.
Will you help us now with a generous gift of 25, 75 or even 250 dollars to fight back and defeat the gruesome abortion business founded by Margaret Sanger?
Your generosity now is crucial to our ability to keep on fighting this case—the most important pro-life legal battle in a generation.
I'm incredibly grateful for you, for your love of freedom and your love of life. Even if you have previously given to this vital cause, please continue praying and standing with Sandra today!
For life and liberty,

Mat Staver
