Five fetuses have been discovered at a Washington residence belonging to an anti-abortion activist, police say.
Officers were called to the home in the Capitol Hill area "to investigate a tip regarding potential bio-hazard material," the Metro Police Department said in a statement. When they entered the home of Lauren Handy, 28, the leader of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), they discovered five fetuses, police said.
According to the Washington police, they could not confirm about the residence where the fetuses were found was in fact Ms. Handy’s. However, two law enforcement officials told the Washington Post that the house was where Ms. Handy was detained and lived or stayed there.
Ms. Handy was indicted separately on Wednesday for attempting to force entry into an abortion clinic in the year 2020. She was photographed outside the address on Wednesday as investigators removed items from the basement in bags and coolers. She also told local news outlet WUSA9 that "people would freak out when they heard" what was inside the containers being seized.
