For Immediate Release: March 28, 2017
WASHINGTON – Following the indictment of David Robert Daleiden on 15 different felony counts in the state of California, Planned Parenthood Federation of America released the following statement.
Statement from Mary Alice Carter, Interim Vice President of Communications, Planned Parenthood Federation of America
"As we have said from the beginning, and as more than a dozen different state investigations have made clear: Planned Parenthood has done nothing wrong, and the only people who broke the law are those behind the fraudulent tapes. The California Attorney General filing criminal charges sends a clear message that you cannot target women and you cannot target health care providers without consequences. We look forward to justice being served."
