Supreme Court Declines to Hear Case of Anti-Abortion Activists Ordered to Pay Planned Parenthood Over Secret Videos

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case brought by anti-abortion activists who were ordered to pay over $2 million in damages to Planned Parenthood after secretly recording videos.
The activists claimed they were exercising free speech rights, but lower courts said their secret recordings violated laws.
The activists released edited videos in 2015 claiming Planned Parenthood illegally sold fetal tissue, sparking investigations.
Planned Parenthood sued the activists for fraud, trespassing and secret recordings, and a jury awarded damages.
The Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case upholds the lower court rulings against the activists.
