Two activists who filmed undercover videos of Planned Parenthood charged with 15 felonies

The two antiabortion activists who mounted a hidden-camera investigation against Planned Parenthood officials have been charged with 15 felony counts of violating the privacy of health-care providers by recording confidential information without their consent.

In announcing the charges against David Robert Daleiden and Sandra Merritt on Tuesday, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said the duo used manufactured identities and a fictitious bioresearch company to meet medical officials and covertly record the private discussions they initiated.

“The right to privacy is a cornerstone of California’s Constitution, and a right that is foundational in a free democratic society,” Becerra said. “We will not tolerate the criminal recording of confidential conversations.”

The criminal complaint alleges that on 14 occasions, between October 2013 and July 2015, Daleiden and Merritt filmed people without permission in Los Angeles, San Francisco and El Dorado counties. The activists face a felony count for each person covertly recorded, and an additional felony charge for criminal conspiracy to invade privacy.

The charges mark a major turning point in a case that had drawn national attention from both sides of the abortion debate and led to investigations — but no charges — against Planned Parenthood in 13 states. The secretly recorded conversations dropped during the politically tumultuous summer of 2015, amid a crowded field of Republican presidential contenders, and turned Daleiden into the biggest star of the antiabortion movement. The heavily edited videos attempted to discredit Planned Parenthood, long a target of the right, and galvanized conservatives’ efforts to pull funding from the women’s health organization and other family planning programs.

The court fight over the videos began in April 2015, when Daleiden and Merritt made site visits at Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast headquarters, using fake names and driver’s licenses to portray themselves as a company interested in connecting Planned Parenthood health centers with research studies. The two antiabortion activists were actually affiliated with Daleiden’s little-known antiabortion nonprofit, the Center for Medical Progress.

While touring the facilities, they recorded undercover videos, supposedly showing Planned Parenthood employees discussing plans to sell aborted human fetal tissue and body parts left for scientific research.

A California judge has thrown out five felony counts against an undercover journalist and activist who exposed Planned Parenthood’s sale of organs from unborn children who had been the victims of abortion

In 2015, David Daleiden, founder of the pro-life Center for Medical Progress, released undercover videos of Planned Parenthood executives talking about the sale of fetal tissue and organs. As a result, he and fellow activist Sandra Merritt faced charges of criminal eavesdropping and conspiring to invade the privacy of those they recorded.

The Center for Medical Progress investigation alleged Planned Parenthood was making a profit from the sale of tissue and other body parts of aborted children. Planned Parenthood never acknowledged wrongdoing, but discontinued the practice of selling organs and tissue from aborted babies in 2018.

Higher levels of chemical bisphenol A (BPA) in a pregnant mother's urine more than tripled the chances that a young boy would develop autism symptoms by age two.

Worse, those same boys were six times more likely to be diagnosed with autism by age 11 — compared to those whose mothers had lower BPA levels during pregnancy.
