The Biden Administration’s alleged cover-up of five aborted infants found in Washington D.C. has sparked demands for a federal investigation as Republican lawmakers claim evidence suggests illegal partial-birth abortions were performed just miles from the U.S. Capitol.
Key Takeaways
- Republican Congressmen Chip Roy and Andy Biggs have demanded FBI Director Kash Patel investigate the deaths of five aborted infants discovered in 2022 that may violate federal law.
- The bodies, known as the “D.C. Five,” were found by pro-life activists outside the Washington Surgi-Clinic, showing potential evidence of illegal partial-birth abortions.
- Lawmakers accuse the Biden administration of failing to investigate possible violations of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act while instead targeting the pro-life activists who discovered the remains.
- The congressmen have requested a review of evidence by April 29 and a briefing on the FBI’s findings regarding potential federal crimes.
Republican Lawmakers Demand Justice for the “D.C. Five”
In a bold challenge to what they describe as a deliberate cover-up, Republican Representatives Chip Roy of Texas and Andy Biggs of Arizona have formally requested FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate the disturbing discovery of five aborted infants found in Washington D.C. in 2022. The remains, referred to as the “D.C. Five,” were discovered by pro-life activists outside the Washington Surgi-Clinic abortion facility shortly before the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The congressional leaders, who chair relevant subcommittees on constitutional rights and federal crime, have expressed grave concerns that federal laws protecting unborn children were violated with impunity under the Biden administration’s watch.
“Serious questions remain surrounding the deaths of these children,” stated Representatives Chip Roy and Andy Biggs in their letter to the FBI. “Very strong evidence suggests the ‘DC Five’ unborn children were killed within miles of our US Capitol building.”
Evidence of Illegal Abortion Practices
The lawmakers’ letter to Director Patel details disturbing evidence suggesting these infants may have been victims of illegal partial-birth abortions or were born alive and left to die. According to their documentation, the physical condition of the recovered remains indicates potential violations of both the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 and the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002. The congressmen noted that D.C. abortionist Cesare Santangelo, who operates the Washington Surgi-Clinic, has previously been recorded stating he would allow babies born alive during abortions to die rather than provide life-saving care as required by federal law.
“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.”
Biden Administration’s Inconsistent Law Enforcement
Roy and Biggs highlighted a troubling pattern in the Biden administration’s selective enforcement of federal laws related to abortion. While aggressively prosecuting pro-life activists under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, the administration has shown little interest in investigating potential crimes committed by abortion providers. The congressmen pointed out that instead of investigating the deaths of these five infants, federal authorities targeted the very activists who discovered and reported the remains, creating what they describe as a chilling effect on those who seek to expose illegal abortion practices.
“I am confident the current leadership at the DOJ and FBI will take action to defend life in our nation’s capital and to ensure that these five babies receive justice.”
Demands for Transparency and Accountability
The Republican lawmakers have set a deadline of April 29 for the FBI to review evidence in the case and provide a briefing on their findings. Their letter specifically requests an independent medical examination of the remains, which they believe will confirm violations of federal law. Prior attempts to get information from the Biden-Harris Department of Justice regarding the preservation of evidence in this case were reportedly met with silence, further fueling suspicions of a deliberate cover-up. With new leadership at the FBI under the Trump administration, Roy and Biggs express optimism that justice may finally be served.
“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.”
The “D.C. Five” case represents a critical test of whether federal laws protecting unborn children will be consistently enforced regardless of political agenda. Pro-life advocates hope this investigation will not only bring justice for these five infants but also shine a light on potentially widespread illegal practices in the abortion industry that have been shielded from scrutiny under the previous administration’s policies. The outcome could have significant implications for abortion law enforcement nationwide.
