Police say they found five fetuses in a home in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, days after the indictment of several anti-abortion activists -- including a woman believed to live in the home where the fetuses were discovered -- on charges of blocking access to a reproductive health clinic in 2020.
Separately, Handy and eight other anti-abortion activists were indicted last week by a federal grand jury for allegedly blocking access in 2020 to a DC clinic that provides abortion services.
Handy and the other defendants "conspired" with each other to obstruct the clinic on October 22, 2020, and to threaten or intimidate patients and employees of the clinic, according to the indictment.The defendants traveled to DC from other states and used deception and force to gain access to the clinic, according to the indictment. "The conspirators brought tools to barricade themselves inside the Clinic, including ropes and chains." Days before the incident, prosecutors allege Handy called the clinic and "falsely represented herself as a female named 'Hazel Jenkins' who needed reproductive health services, and made an appointment for 9:00 a.m.," on October 22, according to court documents. One member of the group, Jonathan Darnel, while outside the clinic, created an event on his Facebook account called, "No one dies today," the indictment said. When the clinic opened, the defendants "forcefully pushed through the Clinic door into the Clinic's waiting room," according to the indictment. The forceful entry allegedly caused a nurse "to stumble and sprain her ankle." Once inside the clinic, the defendants began blockading clinic doors and treatment areas, the indictment said.
When a patient arrived, the "conspirators blocked her from entering the Clinic's treatment area." The indictment said Handy stood at the doorway of the clinic's main entrance "and blocked individuals trying to enter the waiting room."
