Felony charges for 2 who secretly filmed Planned Parenthood

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California prosecutors on Tuesday charged two anti-abortion activists who made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood with 15 felonies, saying they invaded the privacy of medical providers by filming without consent.

State Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced the charges against David Daleiden of Davis, California, and Sandra Merritt of San Jose. The two operate the Irvine-based Center for Medical Progress.

The allegations say the pair filmed 14 people without permission between October 2013 and July 2015 in Los Angeles, San Francisco and El Dorado counties. One felony count was filed for each person. The 15th was for criminal conspiracy to invade privacy.

Becerra says they used a fictitious bioresearch company to meet with women's health care providers and covertly record them.

I asked Youtube to remove them now that this information has come out

BTW - I also asked Youtube to remove those anti-Muslim Russian made propaganda videos about the horrors of having Muslims in your country. You can pick them out easily. It would be great if some others asked too. It pisses me off that Putin and his ilk are purposely doing this to create more hate since it is good for their business.

Idiot Texas legislators are still citing these videos as reasons to pass even more abortion restrictions. Meanwhile, the mostly white male legislature ignores the health consequences and sharp spike in maternal deaths following their successful closing of dozens of clinics in Texas. If you're a bunch of fetal cells, you have all kinds of protections in Texas, but if you're already alive you're on your own. Pro-life indeed!
