Anti-Choice Activist David Daleiden Turns Himself in, Rejects Plea Deal

HeadlineFeb 05, 2016

Two anti-choice activists behind the secretly filmed, heavily edited videos of Planned Parenthood officials have turned themselves in to authorities and posted bond. David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were charged in connection with videos that were edited to accuse falsely Planned Parenthood of profiting off donations of fetal tissue. Last week, a grand jury in Texas tasked with investigating Planned Parenthood instead decided to indict the anti-choice activists. Daleiden’s attorney has said he will reject a proposed plea deal.
