✣ Pro-lifers face criminal charges over videos

What happened? Two pro-life activists have been charged by Californian prosecutors for secretly recording abortion providers. David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, from the Center for Medical Progress, released undercover videos in 2015, in which Planned Parenthood executives discussed the distribution of baby body parts. Daleiden and Merritt will be charged with privacy offences. Attorney general Xavier Becerra said California “will not tolerate the criminal recording of conversations”.
