Two anti-abortion activists who made undercover videos of themselves trying to buy fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood were charged with 15 felonies, California prosecutors announced Tuesday.
State Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced the charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt. Becerra said the two used a fictitious bioresearch company to meet with women’s health care providers and covertly record them.
Prosecutors said they invaded the privacy of medical providers by filming without consent.
Daleiden and Merritt allegedly 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 and the 15th was for criminal conspiracy to invade privacy.
Daleiden called the charges “bogus” and that they were coming from “Planned Parenthood’s political cronies.”
“The public knows the real criminals are Planned Parenthood and their business partners,” Daleiden said.
Planned Parenthood said in a tweet that the charges send a “clear message… You can’t target women & health care providers without consequences.”
Daleiden and Merritt had previously been indicted in Texas on similar charges in January of 2016, but all of the charges were eventually dropped by July as prosecutors said a grand jury had overstepped its authority. The grand jury had originally been convened to investigate Planned Parenthood, but after finding no wrongdoing turned around and indicted Daleiden and Merritt instead.
If cops had done the same thing it would be called a ‘sting’ and perfectly ok.
The gall of those people thinking they can act like cops.
Since when is Planed parenthood a health organization? They are merely merchants of death. They have admitted that they provide no mammograms or other health related services, just death for money. Lets sell the parts on ebay.
AROUND 1995, I ADDRESSED THIS SUBJECT…………..”DAD? HOW WILL THEY TAKE OUR GUNS?” MY SON ASKED AS I FIRED UP THE BURNERS UNDER THE BLUEING TANKS………..
WHY SON, THE ASSHOLES WILL CLAIM WE ARE ALL “FELONS”, AND WAGE WAR ON US A FEW AT THE TIME IN DISTANT LOCATIONS, DOING THEIR VERY BEST TO HAMPER AND INHIBIT ANY MEANINGFUL COMMUNICATION, WHILE DEMONIZING AMERICAN PATRIOTS ON NATIONAL TV FOR “SHOOTING POLICE OFFICERS……””
“The public knows the real criminals are Planned Parenthood and their business partners,”
What they fail to comprehend is that the real criminals BEHIND the ‘real criminals’ is the so-called ‘government’
This sh#t wouldn’t even EXIST, if not for THEM.
