A California
stem cell/human tissue firm appears to be losing its battle to halt damaging
videos that have entangled it in an emotional national controversy about
abortion, the Washington Post reported today.
An opinion piece by UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh said that the Los Angeles judge in
the case “seems to have been persuaded” by the anti-abortion activists to
refrain from blocking further distribution of the videos involving StemExpress
LLC of Placerville.
Quoting from
the judge’s tentative ruling last week, Volokh noted that the First Amendment issues in
the case apparently are carrying the day even if the activists violated state
law in making the surreptitious videos. The Washington Post piece provided a link to the response by the Center for Medical Progress, an Irvine organization
behind the videos.
