A red-brick row house (C) is seen where DC Metro Police said they found five fetuses inside where anti-abortion activists were living earlier this week in the Capitol Hill neighborhood on April 01, 2022 in Washington, DC. Nine people, some of whom lived or stayed in the house, were indicted Wednesday on federal civil rights counts, with prosecutors alleging that they violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act when they blockaded an abortion clinic with chain and rope in 2020. Authorities do not know how the fetuses were obtained or how they got into the home where anti-abortion activist Lauren Handy was staying before she was arrested.

Five fetuses were found by authorities on Thursday in the Washington, D.C. home of an anti-abortion activist.
The discovery was made after someone tipped off the D.C. police from a home in the 400 block of 6th Street SE, according to a department spokesperson. All five fetuses have since been collected by the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
