CHICAGO, IL - MAY 18: A sign hangs above a Planned Parenthood clinic on May 18, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois. The Trump administration is expected to announce a plan for massive funding cuts to Planned Parenthood and other taxpayer-backed abortion providers by reinstating a Reagan-era rule that prohibits federal funding from going to clinics that discuss abortion with women or that share space with abortion providers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is rejecting an appeal from an anti-abortion group that surreptitiously recorded Planned Parenthood employees.

The justices joined lower courts Monday in allowing Planned Parenthood’s racketeering and other claims against the Center for Medical Progress to proceed.

Two members of the group also are facing criminal charges in California over the secret recordings.

The center says its videos show Planned Parenthood employees illegally selling parts of aborted fetuses.

Planned Parenthood says the center surreptitiously accessed its conferences to gain meetings with its staff and create deceptively edited and false videos that were posted online.

Planned Parenthood denied wrongdoing in connection with its fetal tissue practices.

    Dear AP:

    Planned Parenthood denied wrongdoing in connection with its fetal tissue practices.

    because there never was any evidence whatsoever of wrongdoing.

    Can you please put “The president denied regularly feasting on the blood of immigrant children” at the end of all of your articles on trump’s detention policies? It would be just as relevant.

    Unlike the edited Planned Parenthood videos Donnie Moscow’s feast stories are true. How do you think he maintains that orange glow?

    And here I thought they’d finally killed Planned Parenthood dead.
