For decades, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has been a bastion of liberalism. But that court may save Sandra Merritt.

Sandra exposed one of the biggest scandals in the history of America. Congressional committees of the U.S. House and Senate conducted hearings. Referrals were made to the U.S. Department of Justice to prosecute. But only Sandra — not the perpetrators of the crimes she caught on camera — was prosecuted. Then-CA Attorney General Kamala Harris, supported by Planned Parenthood, worked to hide Sandra’s incriminating evidence and set in motion the criminal investigation of this whistleblowing grandmother.

But the Ninth Circuit may unravel the schemes of Kamala Harris and Planned Parenthood who are intent on punishing Sandra for reporting the truth. Liberty Counsel is preparing Sandra’s latest defense.

Sandra Merritt’s undercover videos exposed banned abortion techniques and the unlawful harvesting and selling of organs from aborted babies — some which were harvested while the babies were still alive.

Sandra’s videos resulted in judgments against several organ procurement companies that purchased the abortion giant’s grim products. But not one Planned Parenthood executive or doctor was ever charged. Instead, Sandra Merritt faces years in prison if convicted and 16 million dollars in civil fines!

This is a very expensive case, and we need your help!

Orange County, California, District Attorney Tony Rackauckas filed suit against some of the companies Sandra exposed, including DaVinci Biosciences and its sister company, DV Biologics, for advertising and selling “hundreds of units of fetal tissue and stem cells to research facilities around the world, collecting tens of thousands of dollars in revenue.”

The DA’s office published a sample price list for the baby body parts: (1) Heart – up to 674 dollars in profit; (2) Liver – up to 233 dollars in profit; (3) Stomach – up to 221 dollars in profit; and (4) Small Intestine – up to 664 dollars in profit.

From 2009 to 2015, the defendants obtained aborted baby organs from Planned Parenthood and turned those donations into a profit-driven business. They did so by selling hearts, lungs, kidneys, brains, intestines, skeletal muscles, and bones of the aborted babies, earning hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue.

The defendants pressed onward, year after year, to beat their “competition” and increase margins. They were encouraged to offer discounts, coupons, and sale-pricing on fetal products to move “inventory” more quickly.

Some of the companies that bought Planned Parenthood’s baby body parts were ordered to pay fines up to 7.8 million dollars. Some shuttered their doors. Others continue operation to this day. But NO ONE at Planned Parenthood was ever charged with a crime.

Instead, Sandra Merritt, whose undercover videos were used in evidence in the organ procurement companies’ cases, is the one facing up to 10 years in prison and 16 million dollars in civil fines — all for exposing a crime.

Liberty Counsel continues to fight for Sandra.

The politically motivated criminal case against Sandra is ongoing, as is the multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit filed by Planned Parenthood. The videos and prior hearings in these cases reveal the Jezebel spirit at work.

Dr. Theresa Deisher, an expert in adult stem cell research who obtained her Ph.D. in molecular and cellular physiology from Stanford University School of Medicine, revealed how horrified she was upon reading various studies involving baby human hearts procured from StemExpress and sourced from Planned Parenthood. Dr. Deisher knew those studies had to be conducted while the hearts were still beating without anesthesia.

Some abortionists admitted to and even bragged about their acts — and the massive profits they were making committing those crimes.

Videos showed freshly “harvested” baby limbs, organs, and eyeballs spread out in a common baking dish, ready to be shipped to the highest bidder.

Now a recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision might help free Sandra once and for all.

In Project Veritas v. Schmidt, the Court of Appeals found that an Oregon law banning surreptitious recordings of conversations violates the First Amendment and is invalid. The full Court is now reviewing the case.

California’s recording law, which was used to justify the charges against Sandra Merritt, is substantially similar to the Oregon law the Ninth Circuit just struck down. Like the Oregon law, California’s law and its exceptions “draw a distinction between topics” and whether the recorded conversation is a “confidential communication.”

As a result, Liberty Counsel is fighting to have ALL charges against Sandra dropped. Please be in prayer for a good result.

Sandra’s case is the most expensive case in Liberty Counsel history. Without YOU, Sandra Merritt would already be in prison.
