The pro-life activists involved in last week’s handover of five fetuses stored in a Capitol Hill apartment to District police are asking for autopsies to determine whether, as they suspect, federal partial-birth laws were broken when the abortions were conducted.
Speaking to reporters at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Tuesday, activists said the group turned the fetuses over to the Metropolitan Police Department Wednesday with hopes that tests would be conducted to determine if evidence indicated illegal late-term or live-birth abortions.
Police last week said there is no evidence that laws were broken in connection with the abortions, but that there are questions about how the pro-life activists procured and stored the five fetuses.
Ashan Benedict, executive assistant chief of police, told local media on Thursday that the abortions seemed to have been “in accordance with D.C. law [and] there doesn’t seem to be anything criminal in nature about that except for how they got into this house.”

Seems to most of us that the only viable reason for this possible crime is to find buyers for them. Hopefully, the police will round up all those involved and prosecute them.
Agree!
To me, it seems as though the police aren’t even interested in whether or not the fetus’ was illegally killed but whether the pro-life advocates violated the law by taking the fetus’ to the house. Such a shame.
Someone actually voted your comment down. The freaking Republic is doomed, apparently. It’s the Roman Empire all over again.
Not Roman Empire but we have become the modern Sodom and Gomorrah. Read some of the Pedo laws Newsom (California) has signed. The age of consent is now 14 years old.
Of course it appears the Capital Police are going after the pro-life activist rather then the actual killers.
