Texas tried to bring a politically motivated case against the Center for Medical Progress for exposing the sale of fetal organs by Planned Parenthood. They failed.

So now California wants to take a turn.

The state of California, under the guidance of state attorney general Xavier Becerra, has charged the Center for Medical Progress and David Daledien with 15 (yes, you read that right, FIFTEEN) criminal charges.

The charges against David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress come eight months after similar charges were dropped in Texas.

State Attorney General Xavier Becerra, a longtime Congressional Democrat who took over the investigation in January, said in a statement that the state “will not tolerate the criminal recording of conversations.”

Prosecutors say Daleiden, of Davis, California, and Merritt, of San Jose, filmed 14 people without permission between October 2013 and July 2015 in Los Angeles, San Francisco and El Dorado counties. One felony count was filed for each person. The 15th was for criminal conspiracy to invade privacy.

At least the AP has the good sense to acknowledge that the Texas charges were dropped. What they DON’T acknowledge is that Becerra has received campaign donations from Planned Parenthood himself, and thus has a noted conflict of interest.
