This podcast episode features an in-depth conversation with David Daleiden, founder and president of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP). He discusses his background, how he became involved in the pro-life movement, and the investigative work he led that exposed Planned Parenthood’s involvement in the sale of baby body parts.
Daleiden shares how his early research in his teenage years led him to uncover the scale and reality of abortion in the U.S., which fueled his passion for investigative journalism. He describes the undercover operation that he and his team conducted over three years, during which they secretly recorded Planned Parenthood officials discussing the procurement and sale of fetal tissue. The release of these videos in 2015 sparked national controversy, shifting the conversation on abortion and contributing to legislative efforts, including the eventual overturning of Roe v. Wade. The discussion highlights:
The risks he faced in exposing Planned Parenthood, including legal battles and targeted retaliation.
The lack of remorse he observed in abortion providers discussing baby organ harvesting.
The financial incentives behind the practice, which he describes as a clear violation of federal law.
How his investigations have led to policy changes and legal victories, including recent court wins against Planned Parenthood’s efforts to silence him.
Daleiden emphasizes the importance of valuing every human life and remains committed to exposing the abortion industry’s unethical practices. The host praises his courage and impact, noting that his work has inspired countless pro-lifers to take action. The conversation closes with a hopeful outlook for the future of the pro-life movement and a call for continued advocacy.
