The US Supreme Court on Monday denied a request from the anti-abortion Center for Medical Progress (CMP) to throw out a lawsuit from Planned Parenthood for breaking the law by secretly recording its employees.
The original suit, brought by Planned Parenthood in January 2016, was in response to the release of a series of heavily edited videos produced in 2015 by the CMP, which secretly taped Planned Parenthood officials discussing about the reimbursement of fetal tissue. With each video release, the CMP simultaneously released complete footage of the conversations, to allow every viewer to examine the full context.
