(Seattle, WA) — [LifeSiteNews.com] Attorneys with the pro-life legal nonprofit Thomas More Society have delivered a victory for pro-life investigative journalist David Daleiden in his ongoing battle with the University of Washington, reaching a settlement that will shed even more light on the university's ongoing sale of and experimentation on fetal tissue derived from abortions.

Under the settlement, UW agreed to hand over "significant" documents pertaining to its acquisition and sale of human body parts from aborted babies (with unredacted job titles) and subsequent research and to agreements with Planned Parenthood or other abortion providers, as well as communications and manuals pertaining to related policies, reports, research, financial records, contracts, and grant applications. UW will also pay Thomas More $30,000 in legal fees.

"There's no 'abortion exception' to our nation's public records laws, and the People have a right to know how their government is run," said Thomas More's vice president and senior counsel Peter Breen. "We are pleased at the successful resolution of this lawsuit by settlement. That settlement secured attorney's fees from the UW and nearly everything that David Daleiden was seeking from the UW: thousands of pages of new documents on the buying and selling of aborted fetal tissue trafficking, including job titles and all non-personal information. These are public records of a taxpayer-funded program, and this settlement secures Mr. Daleiden's rights to the documents he needs as a citizen journalist."
