Police found five fetuses after raiding the home of a self-proclaimed 'anti-abortion activist' who was indicted the same day on federal charges alleging that she was part of a group of nine who blocked access to a Washington, D.C. reproductive health center in 2020.
The Metropolitan Police Department said officers were responding to a tip about 'potential bio-hazard material' at the home of Lauren Handy, 28, in Southeast Washington on Wednesday when they located the five fetuses inside.
Local WUSA9 captured the moment police searching the home walked out with red biohazard bags and coolers filled with evidence from the home's basement.
Handy, a director of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising group, was one of nine people charged in an indictment that was made public earlier Wednesday that accused the group of blocking access to the Washington Surgi-Clinic reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook in October 2020.
The station, which first reported the discovery, said Handy told a reporter that 'people will freak out when they hear' what detectives found inside her house.
She did not respond to a messages seeking comment. The Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising groups said they would release a statement about the arrest on Tuesday.
Police on Thursday said the five fetuses appeared to have been aborted in accordance with D.C. law.
'There doesn't appear to be anything criminal about that — except for how they got into that house,' said Ashan M. Benedict, DC Police Executive Assistant Chief of Police.
In the indictment, prosecutors said Handy had called the Washington Surgi-Clinic pretending to be a prospective patient named 'Hazel Jenkins' and scheduling an appointment.
Once there, on October 22, 2020, eight of the suspects pushed their way inside and began blocking the doors, according to the indictment.

Have you ever seen the product of an abortion?
Most people haven’t because it’s a well kept secret
Over 30 years ago I attended my first Prolife Rally......
.....an aborted baby had been found in the garbage.......about 5 months gestation
They tenderly put her in a box ( before burial)
.....and people were allowed to see what a 5 month preborn looks like
I could not unsee it.....it broke my heart
We had an abortion clinic in our town....
I was compelled to protest abortion from that day on
That abortuary is gone now.
yes we have a man in our town who has bought a school bus and plastered the sides with pictures of aborted babies and Bible verses.
Anyone in my zipcode knows what that all looks like.
Hallelujah! Praise Him!
One down, alas, many, many more to go. But you did a wonderful deed :-)
Hopefully, more of it to come! Every breach in a dam begins with a hairline crack, after all.
Thank-you
Planted by the baby killers as false evidence, no doubt.
But the wrong lives are being expended!
You are so very welcome.
God bless :-)
