Title
- The Center for Medical Progress (CMP)
Summary
- "The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) is an anti-abortion organization founded by David Daleiden in 2013. Daleiden set up a fake biomedical research company, called Biomax Procurement Services, as a cover to enable activists to pose as buyers of fetal tissue and secretly record Planned Parenthood executives during meetings. The CMP's edited recordings led anti-abortion politicians to request a criminal investigation of Planned Parenthood for allegedly 'profiting' from the donation of fetal tissue. The full, unedited videos instead showed Planned Parenthood requesting a reasonable fee to cover its costs, without any profit. A grand jury in Harris County, Texas, took no action against Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, and instead indicted Daleiden and a second CMP employee on felony charges of tampering with governmental records and attempting to purchase human organs. These charges were dropped 6 months later." -- Summary retrieved on October 7, 2019 http://dbpedia.org/resource/The_Center_for_Medical_Progress
