The Supreme Court denied a request to block a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood against a group that secretly filmed employees and later released a video, allowing it to go forward in lower courts
Washington The Supreme Court on Monday denied a request to block a lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood against a group that secretly filmed employees and later released a video, allowing it to go forward in lower courts.
Planned Parenthood alleges that the conduct of the anti-abortion rights group, the Center for Medical Progress, violated numerous state laws. The group argued that Planned Parenthood's suit was barred by California's"anti-SLAPP" statute, which stands for strategic lawsuits against public participation. Monday's ruling, issued without comment, leaves intact a federal appeals court ruling rejecting that argument.
