Kane County, IL Court Grants Planned Parenthood License to Lie
A press release from Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League:
A Kane County, Ill., circuit court’s decision yesterday to dismiss a libelous ad and letter in a lawsuit filed against Planned Parenthood of Illinois and Director Steve Trombley could have far-reaching consequences for free speech rights throughout the state.
“Planned Parenthood has been granted a license to lie,” said Eric Scheidler, communications director for the Pro-Life Action League and one of the Aurora, Ill., residents who brought the libel suit. “This ruling gives Planned Parenthood, and any other organization with deep pockets, total immunity for making false, defamatory statements against private citizens.”
