WASHINGTON, D.C. (Thomas More Society) — Thomas More Society attorneys have asked the United States Supreme Court to take up the case of undercover journalist David Daleiden, whose 30-month investigation generated videos and evidence that spurred congressional hearings, criminal referrals, policy and law changes, along with a vigorous national debate on the buying and selling of “baby body parts.”
The Thomas More Society’s petition for writ of certiorari, filed May 17, 2023, seeks a reversal of lower court decisions that permanently prohibit Daleiden from publishing video he took of National Abortion Federation (NAF) trade shows and that awarded NAF over $6 million in attorney’s fees and costs.
The National Abortion Federation sued Daleiden in 2015, asking a California district court to suppress the videos recorded and produced by the investigative journalist and the nonprofit he founded, the Center for Medical Progress. The district court entered, and the court of appeals affirmed, a sweeping permanent injunction against the release of any of the over 500 hours of recordings at NAF conferences, without applying any level of First Amendment scrutiny.
