HOUSTON (AP) — A second anti-abortion activist indicted after making undercover videos about Planned Parenthood is expected to turn himself in to Texas authorities.

Attorneys for David Daleiden (dah-LY’-din) say he’s scheduled to appear in a Houston courtroom Thursday after posting bond.  The other indicted activist, Sandra Merritt, turned herself in Wednesday and was freed on a $2,000 bond.

Both were charged with tampering with a governmental record. Daleiden also was indicted on a misdemeanor count related to purchasing human organs.

The videos alleged Planned Parenthood illegally sold fetal tissue to researchers for profit.

The grand jury that indicted the two on Jan. 25 also investigated Planned Parenthood but concluded it committed no wrongdoing.
