Two antiabortion activists whose controversial undercover videos accused Planned Parenthood doctors of selling fetal tissue were charged Tuesday with more than a dozen felonies by California prosecutors. The videos sparked outrage among abortion foes after Daleiden claimed the videos showed the sale of tissue from aborted fetuses. The videos resulted in a "flood of hate speech, threats and violence" to abortion providers, said Vicki Saporta of the National Abortion Federation. Daleiden and Merritt were charged with 14 felony counts of making recordings without consent and one felony count of conspiracy. Sandra Merritt leaves a Houston court last year.
