Which is a good story and includes this bit of background:

Despite the lofty name of the Center for Medical Progress, public filings suggest only a small number of people are affiliated with the nonprofit, none of whom are scientists or physicians engaged in advancing medical treatments. The people named as its top officers are longtime anti-abortion activists with a history of generating headlines.

[font size="4"]Grand Jury Clears Planned Parenthood, Indicts Activists Behind "Sting" Video Instead[/font]

By Michael Barajas
Monday, January 25, 2016 | 3 hours ago

The series of videos secretly recorded by anti-abortion activists and dropped on YouTube this past summer triggered not just national outrage but federal, state and local inquiries into whether Planned Parenthood ignored guidelines for fetal tissue donation and instead illegally hawked fetal body parts for profit.

On Monday, the Harris County District Attorney's Office announced that its own investigation into the videos has resulted in criminal charges – not against any Planned Parenthood staff, but rather for two anti-abortion activists who used fake IDs to gain access to and secretly film inside of a Houston Planned Parenthood clinic last year.

A grand jury on Monday indicted both David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt on one count of tampering with a government record, a second-degree felony. Daleiden was additionally charged with one count of violating a state law that prohibits the sale or purchase of human organs, a Class A misdemeanor.

Harris County DA Devon Anderson launched the local investigation into Planned Parenthood last year upon learning that one of the undercover videos posted by the so-called Center for Medical Progress, a nonprofit with members tied to the radical fringes of the anti-abortion movement, was filmed inside a Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast clinic. According to prosecutors, the Texas Rangers and Houston Police Department also took part in that investigation.

12 minutes ago. Harris County DA Devon Anderson is now going to be very well known. She is a republican and likely taking some heat for this. But if anyone can handle it she can. UT-educated attorney who tried cases for years before becoming a state judge. Perry appointed her to be DA when her husband died of cancer, and then she ran for his seat. I'm very glad she did the right thing here & she should be commended for it.

A Republican-led committee in Congress charged with investigating Planned Parenthood has said it will not back down even as other states have cleared the group of wrongdoing. The leader of that panel, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), did not immediately respond to the grand jury decision on Monday.
