Pro-life advocates have uncovered disturbing evidence suggesting illegal late-term abortions at a D.C. clinic, while the Biden administration appears determined to bury the investigation and prosecute the whistleblowers instead.
Key Takeaways
- Nine pro-life organizations are demanding an investigation into fetal remains found at Washington Surgi-Clinic that suggest illegal partial-birth abortions or infanticide occurred.
- Representatives Chip Roy and Andy Biggs have formally requested the FBI investigate what they call the Biden Administration’s coverup of the “D.C. 5” case.
- Instead of investigating these potential federal crimes, authorities charged the pro-life activists who discovered the remains with blocking access to the clinic.
- Congressional documents reveal the Department of Justice allegedly ordered the destruction of evidence, but preservation requests from Congress prevented this.
- Medical examinations of the fetal remains suggest some babies may have died by illegal methods, with experts estimating approximately 1,734 infants survive abortion attempts annually in the U.S.
Evidence of Illegal Abortion Practices Exposed
The controversial case known as the “D.C. 5” began in March 2022 when pro-life group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) discovered the remains of five later-term aborted babies outside Washington-Surgi Center, operated by abortionist Cesare Santangelo. Initial medical examinations of these remains revealed disturbing evidence that suggested some of the babies may have died through infanticide or partial-birth abortion – both practices explicitly banned under federal law. Despite these serious allegations, Washington D.C. authorities have steadfastly refused to launch any investigation into potential federal crimes.
“Under the Biden Administration and the tenure of former Director Christopher Wray, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) departed from its core public safety mission, suffered from senior leadership failures, and refused any real transparency or accountability for its actions. As Chairs of the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government and the Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, we remain concerned about the Biden-Harris Administration’s refusal to investigate the circumstances of the case of five aborted children, also known as the D.C. Five, whose remains were allegedly discovered at the Washington Surgi-Clinic in March 2022 by a pro-life advocacy group.” Representatives chip roy and andy biggs
Government Attempts to Destroy Evidence
Rather than addressing the potential federal crimes, the Department of Justice appears to have taken steps to eliminate evidence. According to a letter signed by multiple pro-life organizations to interim U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, there was an orchestrated attempt to dispose of the remains before they could be properly examined. The DOJ’s actions in this case raise serious questions about selective enforcement of federal laws that are meant to protect the most vulnerable.
“President Biden’s Department of Justice allegedly ordered the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to incinerate the evidence,” the letter says. “Thankfully, Members of Congress took shrewd steps to protect the evidence through preservation of evidence requests,” The Letter
Pro-Life Advocates Face Charges While Clinic Escapes Scrutiny
In a troubling turn of events, the individuals who exposed these potential crimes have become the targets of prosecution rather than the abortion provider. Pro-life activists who discovered the remains were charged with blocking access to the clinic, while the serious allegations of federal law violations at the clinic remain uninvestigated. This apparent double standard in law enforcement has prompted Representatives Roy and Biggs, who chair key Congressional subcommittees, to demand the FBI review the decision not to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths of these children.
“We, as leaders of the Pro-Life Movement, respectfully ask that you conduct a proper investigation into the suspected violations of the Partial-Birth Abortion Act and the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act in connection with the D.C. Five,” it urges. “As the Interim United States Attorney for Washington, D.C., it is your responsibility to follow the facts where they may lead and enforce federal law to protect those most vulnerable in our nation’s capital: the unborn,”The Letter
Infanticide: America’s Hidden Crisis
The disturbing allegations surrounding the “D.C. 5” case highlight a broader issue in America: babies who survive abortion attempts. While current federal law technically provides protection for infants born alive during abortion procedures, these protections lack meaningful enforcement mechanisms. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act has been repeatedly proposed to remedy this situation, but continues to face fierce opposition from abortion advocates in Congress. Without proper enforcement, these federal protections remain largely symbolic.
“Although the United States fails to record reliable data on abortion survivors, we have estimated, through Canadian government extrapolations, that 1,734 infants are born alive after a failed abortion procedure every year in the United States,” the Abortion Survivors Network says. “In other words, about 2 out of every 1,000 abortions result in a live birth. After 49.5 years of Roe v Wade, 85,817 babies lived through an abortion procedure,” The Abortion survivors network.
Call for Federal Action
The letter to U.S. Attorney Pirro, signed by prominent pro-life organizations, represents a renewed push for accountability in a case that has seen little official action. The signatories are demanding that federal laws prohibiting partial-birth abortion and infanticide be properly enforced, regardless of political considerations. As evidence potentially pointing to federal crimes remains preserved thanks to Congressional intervention, the pressure continues to mount for authorities to launch a legitimate investigation into what really happened at the Washington Surgi-Clinic.
