Lauren Handy, a self-proclaimed anti-abortion activist, has not offered an explanation as to why the fetuses were in her home.
Five fetuses have been discovered in the home of a self-proclaimed anti-abortion activist in Washington, D.C., police have confirmed.
Lauren Handy was indicted this week on federal charges alleging that she was part of a group of people who blocked access to a reproductive health centre in Washington.
On Wednesday, police entered her home after receiving a tip about “potential bio-hazard material” being stored in the dwelling, reports The Associated Press.
It was then they found the fetuses.
Local television station WUSA9 was on the scene Wednesday when Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department searched the home and captured video of officers leaving with red biohazard bags and coolers from the rowhouse basement.
WUSA9 reporter Nathan Baca tweeted an image of Hardy sitting on a planter box outside the home on Wednesday. Hardy told Baca “people will freak out when they hear.”
Hardy did not offer an explanation as to why the fetuses were in her home.
