Lauren Handy Fetuses Found, Indictment, Anti-Abortion Activism

Police in Washington, DC discovered five fetuses at the home of an anti-abortion activist.

DC police told WUSA9 that the shocking discovery was made during a raid on a Capitol Hill property on Wednesday afternoon, following a tip about potential bio-hazard material inside.

Lauren Handy, the founder of the anti-abortion group Mercy Missions, lives on the property. On the same day, she and other activists stormed an abortion clinic, knocking over an employee and preventing people from entering the facility.

Handy, 28, is one of nine anti-abortion rights activists charged with conspiracy against rights and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, also known as the FACE Act, according to the Justice Department.

The Act prohibits physically obstructing or threatening to use force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services.

They each face up to 11 years in federal prison if convicted of the charges.
