Story highlights A warrant was issued for the pair's arrest

(CNN) California prosecutors filed 15 felony charges against two anti-abortion activists who recorded undercover videos targeting Planned Parenthood.

The pair used false identities and created a fictitious bioresearch company to secretly record conversations with women's health care providers, according to Becerra.

A warrant was issued for their arrest.
