The anti-abortion activist behind undercover videos accusing Planned Parenthood of illegally selling fetal body parts was indicted by a Texas grand jury in a probe that sprang from Republican outrage over the alleged sales.
David Daleiden, who secretly recorded Planned Parenthood employees while posing as a representative of a company specializing in procuring tissue for stem-cell research, faces charges of tampering with a government record, the Harris County district attorney in Houston said Monday in a statement. A second anti-abortion activist, Sandra Merritt, was also charged in the grand jury indictment, prosecutors said.
