Republican lawmakers are urging the FBI to investigate the disturbing case of five aborted babies. The remains are referred to by pro-life advocates as the “DC Five.” Activists found them outside a Washington, D.C., abortion clinic.
The incident has reignited debate over federal abortion laws and what critics call selective justice under the Biden administration.
Discovery of the ‘DC Five’ Raises Alarming Questions
The five late-term babies were discovered in March 2022 by members of the secular pro-life group Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU).
According to the activists, they obtained a box from a medical waste truck labeled “Washington Surgi-Clinic,” operated by OB-GYN Dr. Cesare Santangelo.
Inside the box were the remains of 115 aborted children—five of whom appeared to be in advanced stages of gestation, suggesting potential survivability outside the womb.
Calls for Federal Investigation
In a joint letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) expressed serious concern over the Department of Justice’s handling of the case.
