SAN FRANCISCO - The California Attorney General behind the criminal indictment of the two pro-life journalists, Sandra "Susan" Merritt and David Daleiden, has received thousands of dollars from Planned Parenthood.
When pro-abortion California Governor Jerry Brown named Xavier Becerra as attorney general, Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, said, "Planned Parenthood Federation of America applauds Gov. Brown's appointment of Rep. Xavier Becerra as California's Attorney General. Rep. Becerra is a long-time champion for women's reproductive rights and health. As a former California Deputy Attorney General, he understands the importance of a woman's right to access the full range of health care, including safe, legal abortion. At a time when reproductive health is gravely under attack in states across the country, we need leaders like Rep. Becerra to be responsible stewards of the law and protect the rights of millions of Americans, including the 850,000 California women, men and families that Planned Parenthood serves every year."
