Antiabortion Activist on Trial in D.C. Protester Displayed A Fetus, Police Say
Washington Post ^ | March 11, 2005 | Henri E. Cauvin

It was the furtive movements of a couple of demonstrators that caught the attention of police officers last spring outside the Planned Parenthood clinic on 16th Street NW. And then the officers saw it, in a glass jar passed from one protester to the other:

A human fetus.

Holding it in his pocket, according to police testimony, was Jeff White, an antiabortion activist. When officers asked what he had, White pulled out the jar and confirmed that it contained a fetus. Set in a clear liquid, the tiny limbs were plainly visible...

My guess is that he went behind the clinic and did a little dumpster diving. And no, I am not being sarcastic, trolling, or trying to be insensitive. I am serious.

They incinerate aborted fetuses. He didn't get that from a dumpster.

"It's a contradictory argument," Chavez-Ochoa said. "If it's not just a clump of cells, is the attorney general willing to concede that a . . . fetus is in fact a human being?"

So far, though, the defense has not advanced this argument in the trial before Magistrate Judge J. Dennis Doyle, who is hearing the misdemeanor case.

PLEASE advance this case. It is monumental and ground breaking. They cannot have it both ways and we know that it is a human child. Even if Mr. White went to jail because they came down on the side of the truth and admitted it was a human baby it would set precedence. He then could argue the case that the dead human baby was not being "displayed".

Also, there are ordinances against burning in some cities. Pollution, you know.

I didn't understand the story. WHAT did he do wrong, and why is he on trial. The article said nothing!

After phone calls to commanders and prosecutors, they arrested White and charged him with keeping and exposing a dead body or body part.

Fascinating development...
