CA Court Dismisses 14 of 15 Charges Against Pro-Life Activists Who Exposed Planned Parenthood

The two pro-life activists behind the undercover video exposé on Planned Parenthood’s gruesome “aborted baby body part” trade celebrated another legal victory this week. On Wednesday, the San Francisco Superior Court dismissed 14 of the 15 felony charges brought against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt by the Planned Parenthood-supported attorney general of California.

As the Daily Wire reported in March, the trumped up charges were brought by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who has received thousands of dollars in donations from the “victim” of the video sting operation, Planned Parenthood. The 15 charges Becerra brought against the pro-life journalists were so over-the-top that even the left-leaning Los Angeles Times condemned them as a “disturbing overreach” that could prove detrimental to future similar journalistic investigations (see below).
