The center \u003ca href=\"http://www.ecpcc.org/FlexPaper_1.4.0_flash/ltli.pdf\">describes itself\u003c/a> as \"a religious, nonprofit, pro-life, free medical clinic licensed by the State of California.\" It sits on the corner of a busy intersection, surrounded by strip malls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big sign out front says \"free pregnancy tests.\" That's one way they get women in the door, according to executive director Josh McClure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure is not a physician, though the clinic does have medical advisers who are doctors, he says. When we recently visited, he didn't permit NPR to talk to the staff at the clinic, who are all either registered nurses or volunteers. But he did offer to show us around, and walk us through the process of what happens to clients who come to the clinic thinking they may be pregnant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of these women make appointments, he says, but the clinic also receives one or two walk-ins a day. The staff sees about 800 women a year, and that number is on the rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746419\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746419\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CrisisClinic-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"Roughly 800 women a year seek a free pregnancy test, counseling and other services at this center in El Cajon, Calif.

The clinic encourages its clients to not get abortions, but a new law requires it to also prominently post information about where to find abortion services. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>First, clients fill out paperwork in the lobby, he explains, then are assigned to a volunteer that he describes as an \"advocate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These volunteer advocates, who are not medical professionals, take the client into a small room called the library. There the volunteer leads the client through a conversation about her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure says his volunteer will ask the client a series of questions to get at these issues: \"Why do they think they're pregnant? [Are] they living with somebody? Is it a husband, boyfriend? What are the circumstances going on in their life? And if the pregnancy does happen to be positive, what are they thinking about right then?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library has two shelves with books like \"What To Expect When You're Expecting,\" anatomy models that show the size of the fetus at four weeks gestation, eight weeks, and so on; and VHS tapes about abortion and abortion providers. McClure says the tapes are from the 1970s and are hardly ever used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a client speaks with the advocate and reviews the pamphlets, she is taken to an exam room to take a pregnancy test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"M4rOaJozAw7Lo3CWjUDiCwq31cHpMXLu\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exam room looks like any medical examining room, with clean linoleum floors, health pamphlets and a box of rubber gloves on the counter. In the center of the room is an exam table with a sheet of white tissue paper laid out over it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where a registered nurse would hand the patient a specimen cup to get a urine sample and do a pregnancy test, McClure says. It's the same test you might buy at a drugstore, he says, but here it's free, funded by donations. The RN signs off on the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the pregnancy test is positive, the nurse tells the client there are three options: parenting, adoption or abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to talk about the benefits, responsibilities and side effects of all three,\" McClure says. \"We would say, if it's an unplanned pregnancy, there really aren't any good solutions. They're all hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the discussion of parenting, the nurse talks about the responsibility of an 18-year commitment to another human life, and the resources in the client's life that may be helpful. The nurse asks whether the boyfriend or husband would be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In discussing adoption, the clinic goes over several different options: familial adoption to a family member, local or national adoptions and open or closed adoption. McClure says the clinic works with several adoption agencies and will refer clients to the one that best suits her preferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do let them know, that if there's drug abuse, the reality is if you're not going to straighten your life out by the time the baby is here, that [Child Protective Services] would be coming to take that child,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to abortion, the nurses do not tell clients where they can get an abortion or refer them to abortion providers, McClure told us. But they will talk about the clinic's view of the risks of an abortion and the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally,\" McClure says, \"the further along you go, the more expensive and more invasive and more risks there are. Risk of sterility is one. Perforated uterus is another. And then, of course, emotional side effects as well. All the information we're giving about the side effects is backed by research and referenced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure didn't mention during our tour that at least some claims in that pamphlet used to train the clinic's nurses and volunteers are disputed by leading research organizations. For example, the suggestion that there might be a link between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer has been studied and eventually dismissed by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/abortion-miscarriage-risk\">National Cancer Institute\u003c/a> and other medical groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clinic's pamphlet also states that abortion \"significantly increases the risk\" for conditions such as \"clinical depression and anxiety\" and \"suicidal thoughts and behavior.\" But an American Psychological Association task force on mental health and abortion had a different take in its recent review, recognizing that \"abortion encompasses a diversity of experiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the APA's \u003ca href=\"http://www.apa.org/pi/women/programs/abortion/\">task force report\u003c/a> in 2008, \"the best scientific evidence published indicates that, among adult women who have an unplanned pregnancy, the relative risk of mental health problems is no greater if they have a single, elective first-trimester abortion than if they deliver that pregnancy. The evidence regarding the relative mental health risks associated with multiple abortions is more equivocal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a pregnant woman at McClure's clinic has been briefed by the staff on how their organization views the risks of abortion, she is brought to a room where she can get an ultrasound scan, free of cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746427\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746427\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"In its "care closet," the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1440x1079.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-960x719.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In its 'care closet,' the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There, McClure tells us, the ultrasound image is enlarged and projected onto a big flat-screen TV. Women often decide against abortion, he says, after they see the ultrasound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you have an image on a screen, all the cloudiness of what we're talking about kind of goes away,\" McClure says. \"They're able to see for themselves: OK, arms, legs, eyes, head. Bingo — that's a baby.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last stop is a closet full of diapers, wipes, baby clothes, blankets and maternity clothes — all available for free to clients who have trouble affording those things.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's the end of the tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of these things — no step in that process — would have to change under the Reproductive FACT Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the law requires centers like the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic to post a sign in the lobby that says, in \u003ca href=\"http://www-archive.mozilla.org/newlayout/testcases/css/sec526pt2.htm\">22-point type\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>California has public programs that provide immediate free or low-cost access to comprehensive family planning services (including all FDA-approved methods of contraception), prenatal care, and abortion for eligible women. To determine whether you qualify, contact the county social services office at [insert the telephone number].\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>If the center is not a licensed medical clinic, the sign would state:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This facility is not licensed as a medical facility by the State of California and has no licensed medical provider who provides or directly supervises the provision of services.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>McClure says a sign in the lobby is not how or when he wants his clients at the clinic to hear about abortion. It goes against everything his center stands for, he tells NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the people responsible for the law requiring this new sign is \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a62/\">Autumn Burke\u003c/a>, who represents Inglewood in the California Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke tells NPR that her interest in the issue started the day she went to get her phone fixed at a shop near a clinic that performs abortions. Protesters outside the clinic gave her pamphlets, she says, making claims that she knew weren't true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It [said] that abortion causes breast cancer,\" Burke recalls, \"that if you are on birth control boys will not like you, or they will take advantage of you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days later, one of Burke's colleagues in the California Assembly asked her to co-sponsor the Reproductive FACT Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I thought, 'You know what? This is timely,' \" Burke says. \"Making sure women have the correct information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of health and medical groups, including the regional district of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the California Nurses Association and the Primary Care Association, also \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB775\">supported the legislation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke acknowledges that some crisis pregnancy centers do give good help to women who want to have babies. But she says that others give false information to women or pose as clinics, even though they don't have a medical license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke says the law is for those bad actors, and that putting up this sign in these centers wouldn't be much different than a notice from the health department or the building inspector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like a 'Wash Your Hands' sign on the wall,\" says Burke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificjustice.org/brad-dacus---president.html\">Brad Dacus\u003c/a> of the Pacific Justice Institute, one of the groups suing the state of California over the new law, could not disagree more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like telling the Alcoholics Anonymous group that they have to have a large sign saying where people can get alcohol and booze for free,\" Dacus says. \"It's like telling a Jewish synagogue that they can have their service, and do their thing, but they have to have a large sign where people can go to pray to receive Jesus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dacus's organization has \u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/suits-filed-to-stop-state-compelled-speech\">filed a challenge\u003c/a> to the law in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some U.S. cities, including Austin, Texas, Baltimore and San Francisco, have passed similar legislation and have faced similar legal challenges — with mixed results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California so far is the largest jurisdiction in the country to pass a law requiring these centers to inform women about the availability of abortion services. If the law holds up, it could make way for measures like it in other cities and states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brad Dacus says that if the case has to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop the law, so be it. To him, the legal battle is all about upholding the right to religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people are not allowed to carry out their faith, and act and actually exercise their faith — not just have their private beliefs, but actually exercise their faith — then we really don't have religious freedom,\" Dacus says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits against the Reproductive FACT Act are now making their way through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristin Ford, representing the office of California Attorney General Kamala Harris, says, \"We will vigorously defend the state law in court.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2015 NPR.

There the volunteer leads the client through a conversation about her situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure says his volunteer will ask the client a series of questions to get at these issues: \"Why do they think they're pregnant? [Are] they living with somebody? Is it a husband, boyfriend? What are the circumstances going on in their life? And if the pregnancy does happen to be positive, what are they thinking about right then?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library has two shelves with books like \"What To Expect When You're Expecting,\" anatomy models that show the size of the fetus at four weeks gestation, eight weeks, and so on; and VHS tapes about abortion and abortion providers. McClure says the tapes are from the 1970s and are hardly ever used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a client speaks with the advocate and reviews the pamphlets, she is taken to an exam room to take a pregnancy test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The exam room looks like any medical examining room, with clean linoleum floors, health pamphlets and a box of rubber gloves on the counter. In the center of the room is an exam table with a sheet of white tissue paper laid out over it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's where a registered nurse would hand the patient a specimen cup to get a urine sample and do a pregnancy test, McClure says. It's the same test you might buy at a drugstore, he says, but here it's free, funded by donations. The RN signs off on the results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the pregnancy test is positive, the nurse tells the client there are three options: parenting, adoption or abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're going to talk about the benefits, responsibilities and side effects of all three,\" McClure says. \"We would say, if it's an unplanned pregnancy, there really aren't any good solutions. They're all hard.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the discussion of parenting, the nurse talks about the responsibility of an 18-year commitment to another human life, and the resources in the client's life that may be helpful. The nurse asks whether the boyfriend or husband would be involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In discussing adoption, the clinic goes over several different options: familial adoption to a family member, local or national adoptions and open or closed adoption. McClure says the clinic works with several adoption agencies and will refer clients to the one that best suits her preferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do let them know, that if there's drug abuse, the reality is if you're not going to straighten your life out by the time the baby is here, that [Child Protective Services] would be coming to take that child,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to abortion, the nurses do not tell clients where they can get an abortion or refer them to abortion providers, McClure told us. But they will talk about the clinic's view of the risks of an abortion and the cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Generally,\" McClure says, \"the further along you go, the more expensive and more invasive and more risks there are. Risk of sterility is one. Perforated uterus is another. And then, of course, emotional side effects as well. All the information we're giving about the side effects is backed by research and referenced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McClure didn't mention during our tour that at least some claims in that pamphlet used to train the clinic's nurses and volunteers are disputed by leading research organizations. For example, the suggestion that there might be a link between abortion and an increased risk of breast cancer has been studied and eventually dismissed by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/abortion-miscarriage-risk\">National Cancer Institute\u003c/a> and other medical groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clinic's pamphlet also states that abortion \"significantly increases the risk\" for conditions such as \"clinical depression and anxiety\" and \"suicidal thoughts and behavior.\" But an American Psychological Association task force on mental health and abortion had a different take in its recent review, recognizing that \"abortion encompasses a diversity of experiences.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the APA's \u003ca href=\"http://www.apa.org/pi/women/programs/abortion/\">task force report\u003c/a> in 2008, \"the best scientific evidence published indicates that, among adult women who have an unplanned pregnancy, the relative risk of mental health problems is no greater if they have a single, elective first-trimester abortion than if they deliver that pregnancy. The evidence regarding the relative mental health risks associated with multiple abortions is more equivocal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a pregnant woman at McClure's clinic has been briefed by the staff on how their organization views the risks of abortion, she is brought to a room where she can get an ultrasound scan, free of cost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10746427\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10746427\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"In its "care closet," the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1440x1079.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-1180x884.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/11/CareCloset-960x719.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In its 'care closet,' the East County Pregnancy Care Clinic keeps donations of diapers, baby clothes, wipes, maternity clothes and other items to help clients who can't afford such supplies on their own. \u003ccite>(Becky Sullivan/NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There, McClure tells us, the ultrasound image is enlarged and projected onto a big flat-screen TV.

It goes against everything his center stands for, he tells NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the people responsible for the law requiring this new sign is \u003ca href=\"http://asmdc.org/members/a62/\">Autumn Burke\u003c/a>, who represents Inglewood in the California Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke tells NPR that her interest in the issue started the day she went to get her phone fixed at a shop near a clinic that performs abortions. Protesters outside the clinic gave her pamphlets, she says, making claims that she knew weren't true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It [said] that abortion causes breast cancer,\" Burke recalls, \"that if you are on birth control boys will not like you, or they will take advantage of you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few days later, one of Burke's colleagues in the California Assembly asked her to co-sponsor the Reproductive FACT Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I thought, 'You know what? This is timely,' \" Burke says. \"Making sure women have the correct information.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of health and medical groups, including the regional district of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the California Nurses Association and the Primary Care Association, also \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB775\">supported the legislation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke acknowledges that some crisis pregnancy centers do give good help to women who want to have babies. But she says that others give false information to women or pose as clinics, even though they don't have a medical license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burke says the law is for those bad actors, and that putting up this sign in these centers wouldn't be much different than a notice from the health department or the building inspector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like a 'Wash Your Hands' sign on the wall,\" says Burke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificjustice.org/brad-dacus---president.html\">Brad Dacus\u003c/a> of the Pacific Justice Institute, one of the groups suing the state of California over the new law, could not disagree more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's like telling the Alcoholics Anonymous group that they have to have a large sign saying where people can get alcohol and booze for free,\" Dacus says. \"It's like telling a Jewish synagogue that they can have their service, and do their thing, but they have to have a large sign where people can go to pray to receive Jesus.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dacus's organization has \u003ca href=\"http://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/suits-filed-to-stop-state-compelled-speech\">filed a challenge\u003c/a> to the law in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some U.S. cities, including Austin, Texas, Baltimore and San Francisco, have passed similar legislation and have faced similar legal challenges — with mixed results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state of California so far is the largest jurisdiction in the country to pass a law requiring these centers to inform women about the availability of abortion services. If the law holds up, it could make way for measures like it in other cities and states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brad Dacus says that if the case has to go all the way to the Supreme Court to stop the law, so be it. To him, the legal battle is all about upholding the right to religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If people are not allowed to carry out their faith, and act and actually exercise their faith — not just have their private beliefs, but actually exercise their faith — then we really don't have religious freedom,\" Dacus says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuits against the Reproductive FACT Act are now making their way through the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Read Orrick's \u003ca href=\"#order\">order below\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nondisclosure agreements that Center for Medical Progress agents signed while presenting themselves as legitimate conference participants weighed heavily in his decision, Orrick said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As far as I'm concerned, anything that happened during the time of the NAF annual meetings, whether it's in the hallway, in a restaurant, in the meeting hall itself, if it's with NAF participants the defendants wouldn't have had access to but for the agreements signed under false pretenses, I think all of that would be included\" in the restraining order, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Chavez-Ochoa, the lawyer representing the Center for Medical Progress, said after the hearing that the group would abide by the order. Chavez-Ochoa said the blocked materials represent \"a small percentage\" of the information the Irvine, California-based organization has secretly gathered on abortion providers, and that it will release additional videos not subject to the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The information they obtained from NAF and the people they spoke with really is of a limited nature to the investigation as a whole,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He argued in court that a federal response to the videos would likely result in a subpoena for the center's unreleased material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is at least one Senate committee that wishes to obtain videos and documents from our clients,\" Chavez-Ochoa said. He added that the attorney general of Texas and \"several other attorney generals in other states are looking at this as we speak. As of right now, no agency that I'm aware of has issued a subpoena, although we believe they're forthcoming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Abortion Federation President Vicki Saporta said after the hearing that the nondisclosure agreements are part of the effort her organization makes to protect the privacy and safety of conference participants, many of whom now feel violated and at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they can't feel safe and secure at an NAF meeting, where can they feel safe and secure?\" Saporta asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nothing is more important than the safety and security of our members and taking these criminals to task for their illegal activities,\" the federation's \u003ca href=\"http://prochoice.org/temporary-restraining-order-extended-against-anti-abortion-group/\" target=\"_blank\">statement\u003c/a> says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Abortion Federation has sued the Center for Medical Progress and its officers, claiming conspiracy, fraud, racketeering, misrepresentation and trespassing over what it alleges was an elaborate scheme to discredit and endanger federation members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They don't have a constitutional privilege to do what they did,\" NAF's attorney Derek Foran said after the hearing. \"They can be held accountable in the court of law, and they will be held accountable in the court of law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed Friday claims that the center's officers, along with hired actors, gained entry to the professional conferences attended by hundreds of doctors, counselors, abortion rights activists and clinic administrators by creating a phony tissue procurement company called Biomax Procurement Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Daleiden, a leader of the Center for Medical Progress who is also named in the suit, said last week that Planned Parenthood and its allies were trying to silence the group and suppress investigative journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Center for Medical Progress follows all applicable laws in the course of our investigative journalism work and will contest all attempts from Planned Parenthood and their allies to silence our First Amendment rights,\" he said in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/2015/07/cmp-statement-on-national-abortion-federation-lawsuit-to-suppress-1st-amendment-speech-and-cover-up-illicit-baby-parts-sales/\" target=\"_blank\">statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez-Ochoa said barring the release of the videos raises prior restraint issues for his clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to look at not only the right of speech, but also the right of the press,\" he said. \"That's one of the issues I think is going to be ferreted out here: If you have an investigative reporter engaging in an undercover investigation, what parameters and protections he's afforded by the First Amendment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foran laughed at the center's self-characterization as investigative journalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Journalists are supposed to seek truth and report it,\" he said. \"These people are creating a false reality in order to smear people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has released several undercover videos of Planned Parenthood doctors that have riled anti-abortion activists, including one of a doctor in Colorado discussing the prices of aborted fetal remains and another of the group's medical director describing techniques for obtaining fetal body parts for research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, the center \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/about-us/\" target=\"_blank\">describes itself\u003c/a> as \"a group of citizen journalists ... concerned about contemporary bioethical issues that impact human dignity, and we oppose any interventions, procedures, and experiments that exploit the unequal legal status of any class of human beings.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Los Angeles judge last week issued a separate temporary restraining order blocking the center from releasing any video of leaders of StemExpress, a California company that provides fetal tissue to researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post contains reporting from the Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[scribd id=273521270 key=key-0ZbkjNIyEwtZCtdSY0tK mode=scroll]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Read Orrick's \u003ca href=\"#order\">order below\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nondisclosure agreements that Center for Medical Progress agents signed while presenting themselves as legitimate conference participants weighed heavily in his decision, Orrick said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As far as I'm concerned, anything that happened during the time of the NAF annual meetings, whether it's in the hallway, in a restaurant, in the meeting hall itself, if it's with NAF participants the defendants wouldn't have had access to but for the agreements signed under false pretenses, I think all of that would be included\" in the restraining order, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brian Chavez-Ochoa, the lawyer representing the Center for Medical Progress, said after the hearing that the group would abide by the order. Chavez-Ochoa said the blocked materials represent \"a small percentage\" of the information the Irvine, California-based organization has secretly gathered on abortion providers, and that it will release additional videos not subject to the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The information they obtained from NAF and the people they spoke with really is of a limited nature to the investigation as a whole,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He argued in court that a federal response to the videos would likely result in a subpoena for the center's unreleased material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is at least one Senate committee that wishes to obtain videos and documents from our clients,\" Chavez-Ochoa said. He added that the attorney general of Texas and \"several other attorney generals in other states are looking at this as we speak. As of right now, no agency that I'm aware of has issued a subpoena, although we believe they're forthcoming.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Abortion Federation President Vicki Saporta said after the hearing that the nondisclosure agreements are part of the effort her organization makes to protect the privacy and safety of conference participants, many of whom now feel violated and at risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they can't feel safe and secure at an NAF meeting, where can they feel safe and secure?\" Saporta asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Nothing is more important than the safety and security of our members and taking these criminals to task for their illegal activities,\" the federation's \u003ca href=\"http://prochoice.org/temporary-restraining-order-extended-against-anti-abortion-group/\" target=\"_blank\">statement\u003c/a> says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Abortion Federation has sued the Center for Medical Progress and its officers, claiming conspiracy, fraud, racketeering, misrepresentation and trespassing over what it alleges was an elaborate scheme to discredit and endanger federation members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They don't have a constitutional privilege to do what they did,\" NAF's attorney Derek Foran said after the hearing. \"They can be held accountable in the court of law, and they will be held accountable in the court of law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed Friday claims that the center's officers, along with hired actors, gained entry to the professional conferences attended by hundreds of doctors, counselors, abortion rights activists and clinic administrators by creating a phony tissue procurement company called Biomax Procurement Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Daleiden, a leader of the Center for Medical Progress who is also named in the suit, said last week that Planned Parenthood and its allies were trying to silence the group and suppress investigative journalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Center for Medical Progress follows all applicable laws in the course of our investigative journalism work and will contest all attempts from Planned Parenthood and their allies to silence our First Amendment rights,\" he said in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/2015/07/cmp-statement-on-national-abortion-federation-lawsuit-to-suppress-1st-amendment-speech-and-cover-up-illicit-baby-parts-sales/\" target=\"_blank\">statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chavez-Ochoa said barring the release of the videos raises prior restraint issues for his clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have to look at not only the right of speech, but also the right of the press,\" he said. \"That's one of the issues I think is going to be ferreted out here: If you have an investigative reporter engaging in an undercover investigation, what parameters and protections he's afforded by the First Amendment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foran laughed at the center's self-characterization as investigative journalists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Journalists are supposed to seek truth and report it,\" he said. \"These people are creating a false reality in order to smear people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has released several undercover videos of Planned Parenthood doctors that have riled anti-abortion activists, including one of a doctor in Colorado discussing the prices of aborted fetal remains and another of the group's medical director describing techniques for obtaining fetal body parts for research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, the center \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerformedicalprogress.org/about-us/\" target=\"_blank\">describes itself\u003c/a> as \"a group of citizen journalists ... concerned about contemporary bioethical issues that impact human dignity, and we oppose any interventions, procedures, and experiments that exploit the unequal legal status of any class of human beings.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Los Angeles judge last week issued a separate temporary restraining order blocking the center from releasing any video of leaders of StemExpress, a California company that provides fetal tissue to researchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post contains reporting from the Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
