Anti-abortion activist Lauren Handy told a local news station people would “freak out” when they learned what was in the coolers police hauled out of her house.
Handy posed as someone named “Hazel Jenkins,” the indictment alleges, and made an appointment for reproductive health services for 9:00 am on October 22, 2020. After Handy had checked in for her appointment as “Hazel,” she and several of the other defendants allegedly stormed the entrance of the clinic, knocking over a nurse and causing her to sprain her ankle.
The D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner collected the fetuses and an investigation is ongoing. The Metropolitan Police did not respond to a request for further comment or updates. Handy’s public defender did not immediately answer requests for comment.
