I think if you take a look at a few of Carly Fiorina's recent interviews as well as those of Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and others, you will find they clearly express their opinions of PP's activities. While they might not call them criminal, they certainly consider them borderline illegal as well as repugnant.
PP's defense is not to present factual information to prove their activities are legal, they attack the producers of the videos and hire an organization to spin their position.
If you would take the trouble to look, you will find that abortion, particularly late term abortion is not supported by a majority of the population, particularly the younger generation. The canard that PP provides needed women's health services is rapidly losing its credibility and the ugly truth of their agenda is becoming clear to many thanks to these videos and others.
