A federal appeals court has upheld an injunction barring anti-abortion activists from distributing secret recordings of abortion providers and their employees—part of a set of recordings targeting Planned Parenthood and abortion providers.However, one of the three judges handling the case for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals dissented in part from the ruling Wednesday, saying that the activists should be able to share the materials with state attorneys general and other law enforcement officials seeking the recordings.The appeals court decision came one day after California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced criminal charges against two of the anti-abortion activists involved for allegedly violating state laws against recording of "confidential" conversations.The National Abortion Federation (NAF) obtained the injunction from a federal judge in San Francisco after arguing that the activists violated written agreements they signed pledging not to distribute any information from the meetings without the federation's consent.
