In their letter this week, the pro-life groups — including the Thomas More Society, March for Life Action, and the Family Life Council — asked the House of Representatives to “immediately intervene to demand these bodies are not discarded before the proper autopsies and investigations have occurred.”
“Additionally, we urge members of Congress to offer their voice to speak out about the five innocent unborn children whose lives were brutally taken just three miles from the House chamber,” said the letter, which was addressed to House GOP Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise.
“The D.C. Five deserve justice, and the Department of Justice must cease covering up potential evidence of infanticide and partial-birth abortion in our nation’s capital,” the groups said in the letter.
A lawyer representing the group, Martin Cannon, confirmed to the Daily Signal on Monday that the Department of Justice reportedly advised the medical examiner that there was “no reason to keep those babies anymore.”
“And the medical examiner’s office accordingly tells me that if we don’t have an order to the contrary, by the end of this week, a court order, they will dispose of the babies,” he said.
Reached for comment this week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia referred CNA to the D.C. medical examiner’s office. The medical examiner’s office did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday night.
