Police found five fetuses in the home of a self-proclaimed "anti-abortion activist" who was indicted this week on federal charges alleging that she was part of a group of people who blocked access to a Washington, D.C., reproductive health center.
The Metropolitan Police Department says officers were responding to a tip about "potential bio-hazard material" at a home in Southeast Washington on Wednesday when they located the five fetuses inside.
WUSA-TV captured video of police searching the home and reported that the home belonged to Lauren Handy. The 28-year-old was one of nine people charged in an indictment that was made public on Wednesday that accused the group of traveling to Washington, blocking access to the reproductive health center and streaming it on Facebook.
