It was not actually Erelle who wanted to travel to Syria but “Melodie,” a 20-year-old would-be jihadist bride she created on the Internet. Erelle, 32, is a journalist with a weekly news magazine in Paris who specializes in covering the Middle East. Two years ago, she carried out a series of interviews with teenagers in the banlieues, the poverty-stricken suburbs of Paris which have become a breeding ground for extremism, and was intrigued by how many young Muslims had been radicalized. “They knew very little about religion. They had hardly read a book and they learnt jihad before religion,” she said. “They’d tell me, ‘You think with your head, we think with our hearts.’ They had a romantic view of radicalism. I wondered how that happened.” Even more baffling were the “caliphettes,” young women who had grown up in a free society but were obsessed with jihadist fighters. “To them, jihadists are like Brad Pitt, only better because Brad Pitt is not religious,” says Erelle. She decided to join the young Muslim community online and created a fake profile on Facebook and Twitter. Little was known about the growing links between extremists and Muslim teenagers then, and even now the scale of the network is a surprise: Sultana, one of the missing British girls believed to have crossed the border to Syria, was following more than 70 extremists on Twitter and had amassed more than 11,000 followers.

No, it is illegal to dump fetuses they way they did. It is not immoral unless we are discussing the act of abortion which I am not here. There are procedures that are followed for medical waste removal.
Legal - getting an abortion
Illegal - clinic dumping 'waste' incorrectly.
Moral - correctly disposing of human remains
Immoral - not correctly disposing of human remains
Moral - I think abortion should be legal
Moral - I think abortion should not be legal
It would depend on how you were raised.

I am not reaching just trying to make a point that this is all based on partisan AG's. Look up OSHA regarding whistle blowers. There is a protection program. Many times people do lie to get the information they want to prove something is truly going on that is illegal.
The activists face a felony count for each person covertly recorded, and an additional felony charge for criminal conspiracy to invade privacy.
