Police discovered five fetuses at the home of an anti-abortion activist in Capitol Hill on Wednesday, the department has confirmed to WUSA9.
Officers responded shortly after noon to a home on the 400 block of 6th Street SE to investigate a tip about potential bio-hazard material in the residence. Once inside, they located the fetuses. The remains were collected by the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
D.C. Superior Court records show Handy has a history of legal issues related to her anti-abortion activities. A D.C. charter school filed a civil complaint against her for trespassing in December 2015. She was arrested for unlawful assembly outside the school earlier that year, and at different locations in 2019 and in January for unlawful entry and blocking an entrance. Only of those cases resulted in more than a ticket. That case stemmed from a March 2019 arrest at the Washington Surgi-Clinic — the same clinic in the indictment Handy now faces. The charge was dropped in July 2019 for want of prosecution.

She is one SICK hypocrite...
..."The DOJ just unsealed an indictment against anti-abortion activist and "Catholic anarchist" Lauren Handy and eight other defendants for forcibly blocking a clinic in D.C. in late 2020. Handy and Goodman have charges pending in a similar case in Michigan. pic.twitter.com/pKJz6psjTJ

While inside, one of Handy's co-defendants, Jonathan Darnel, allegedly live-streamed the blockade, saying at one point, “We have people intervening physically with their bodies to prevent women from entering the clinic to murder their children.”
The indictment charges all nine defendants with conspiracy against rights and clinic access obstruction. The first count is a felony carrying a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
Charged in the indictment are:
Lauren Handy, of Virginia/D.C.;
Jonathan Darnell, of Virginia;
Jay Smith, of New York;
Paulette Harlow, of Massachusetts;
Jean Marshall, of Massachusetts;
John Hinshaw, of New York;
Heather Idoni, of Michigan;
William Goodman, of Michigan;
Joan Bell, of New Jersey.
Handy, who founded the anti-abortion group Mercy Missions, hasn't limited her anti-abortion activities to D.C. In 2019, she and another group of protesters that also included Goodman, were charged with a felony for allegedly resisting arrest at an abortion clinic in Michigan. That charge was reduced earlier this year to misdemeanor trespassing.
Laura Meyers, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, said the group of anti-abortion activists was familiar to her."
