On Thursday, Subcommittee Chairmen Chip Roy (TX-21) and Andy Biggs (AZ-5) called on Washington, D.C. authorities to preserve the remains of five babies believed to have been killed in illegal late-term abortions.
The Department of Justice reportedly advised the Washington, D.C. Medical Examiner to dispose of the remains of five preborn children whose bodies were recovered from the Washington Surgi-Clinic in March of 2022.
Killing a child through a partial-birth abortion is a crime under federal law.
Representative Roy said, “It’s been almost two years, and the five unborn children who appeared to be aborted illegally in our nation’s capital have still not received justice.
These are human beings — fellow Americans — and this testimony indicates that Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is trying to sweep the horrifying reality of the case, and of abortion in general, under the rug.
I’m proud to work with my friend and colleague Andy Biggs on this critical matter.”
“All life is precious, and any violator of the Partial-Birth Abortion Act must be held accountable. The MPD and DOJ’s investigation was insufficient and inadequate. The DOJ’s effort to dispose of these bodies without conducting an investigation is malpractice. These bodies must be preserved. I applaud Congressman Roy for spearheading this effort with me to protect life. Americans deserve to know what happened to these five innocent children and the rogue actors involved must be brought to justice. I remain hopeful that the Mayor and Chief reconsider their decision to dispose of the remains of these children,” said Representative Biggs.
