Allegations of Federal Abortion Law Violations
Two Republican congressmen are demanding FBI Director Kash Patel investigate what they describe as a Biden administration cover-up involving five aborted infants discovered in Washington, D.C. in 2022. Representatives Chip Roy of Texas and Andy Biggs of Arizona, who chair key House subcommittees, allege that federal authorities failed to properly investigate potential violations of critical abortion laws when the remains of five late-term aborted babies were found outside Washington Surgi-Clinic, just months before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The lawmakers claim the condition of the infants suggests illegal partial-birth abortions may have occurred.
“Serious questions remain surrounding the deaths of these children,” wrote Reps. Chip Roy and Andy Biggs in their letter to the FBI.
The bodies, discovered by pro-life activists in March 2022, showed signs of potential violations of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 and the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002. According to the congressmen, the Biden Justice Department not only failed to investigate these potential federal crimes but instead targeted the pro-life advocates who discovered and reported the remains. This alleged selective enforcement has raised serious concerns about the administration’s commitment to upholding federal abortion laws.
The “D.C. Five” Case Details
The case involves five late-term aborted babies discovered by pro-life activists outside the Washington Surgi-Clinic operated by Dr. Cesare Santangelo. The activists have claimed that the condition of the infants suggests illegal abortion methods were used. Photographs and eyewitness accounts describe babies with intact bodies and specific injuries consistent with partial-birth abortion techniques, which have been banned federally since 2003. The lawmakers’ letter to the FBI details these findings and requests an independent medical examination to determine whether federal laws were violated.
“Very strong evidence suggests the ‘DC Five’ unborn children were killed within miles of our US Capitol building,” said Roy in his communication to authorities.
Despite repeated calls for investigation from pro-life organizations and lawmakers since 2022, the Biden administration and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser allegedly refused to address the case. Representatives Roy and Biggs express particular concern that law enforcement resources were used to prosecute the pro-life activists who discovered the remains rather than investigating the abortion provider’s potential federal crimes. The lawmakers assert this demonstrates a problematic pattern of selective law enforcement based on political considerations.
Demands for FBI Investigation
In their letter to FBI Director Patel, the congressmen request a review of all evidence related to the “D.C. Five” by April 29, followed by a briefing on the findings. They specifically ask the FBI to examine why previous leadership under the Biden administration chose not to investigate potential violations of federal abortion laws in this case. The lawmakers argue that with new leadership at the FBI, there is an opportunity to correct what they view as a politically motivated failure to enforce the law.
“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,” Roy stated in reference to the new investigation request.
The congressmen further criticize what they characterize as the Biden-Harris administration’s disproportionate targeting of pro-life advocates under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act while ignoring potential crimes by abortion providers. Their letter emphasizes that federal laws prohibiting partial-birth abortion and requiring medical care for infants born alive during abortion procedures exist regardless of broader abortion politics, and deserve equal enforcement. The outcome of this requested investigation could have significant implications for abortion policy enforcement nationwide.
