The ‘D.C. Five’ and the FACE Act

The shocking discovery of five late-term babies outside the Washington Surgi-Clinic in Washington, D.C. has sparked outrage and calls for action from pro-life activists and lawmakers. The babies, including a fully intact, third-trimester baby boy found in a plastic shipping container, were intended to be shipped to Baltimore for disposal as renewable energy fuel.

Pro-life activist Bukovinac revealed the gruesome details of the discovery, highlighting the fact that the baby boy was likely killed after being delivered alive. Despite the disturbing nature of the case, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has not announced any plans to take action, and the D.C. medical examiner has refused to allow an independent examination of the bodies.

In a further twist, one of the activists involved in the case, Lauren Handy, was arrested for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act in a separate protest. Bukovinac criticized the DOJ for prosecuting Handy while ignoring the potential federal crimes at the D.C. abortion clinic.

Lawmakers, including Rep. Mary Miller, have called on Congress to intervene and investigate the situation. Miller emphasized the need for federal law enforcement to take action against illegal activities at abortion clinics and to stop funding these “centers of death.” If the heads of the DOJ and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) fail to investigate the killings, Congress has the power to remove them from office.

The case of the ‘D.C. Five’ and the allegations of federal crimes at the Washington Surgi-Clinic have reignited the debate over abortion laws and enforcement in the United States. Pro-life activists and lawmakers are demanding accountability and justice for the victims, while also calling for a closer examination of the practices at abortion clinics.
