Anti-abortion activists claimed on Tuesday that five fetuses that were removed from an apartment in Washington last week had been in a box containing a total of 115 that the driver of a medical waste truck voluntarily allowed them to take from his dolly outside an abortion clinic.

The driver’s employer, Curtis Bay Medical Waste Services, denied their account and added that the use of its services to dispose of fetuses was against company policy.

It was the latest turn in an investigation that burst into public view last Wednesday, the same day that Lauren Handy, 28, an anti-abortion activist, was arrested and charged, along with eight others, with illegally blocking access to a Washington abortion clinic in October 2020.

Separately from that federal investigation, the Metropolitan Police in Washington, D.C., said that they had removed the five fetuses from an apartment where Ms. Handy said she lived, prompting questions about where they came from and why she had them.

6. I thought "Thou shalt not steal" was one of the Big Ten

Is there an exception for "unless the driver voluntarily allows you to 'take' *wink* *wink* something that doesn't belong to him"?

8. Why didn't these ghouls conduct proper burials for the 115 dead babies?

The anti-abortion crowd supports laws requiring fetal remains from surgical abortions to be cremated or buried, but after being caught with the bodies of dead babies, the hypocrites now say they were fetuses.

11. Jut what the hell did they want with them?

Were they waiting for them to grow into babies? Were they planning funerals? Or just funsies?

13. They take pictures of them and use them as propaganda

17. They claim the fetuses were aborted illegally. They also want to use people's horrified reactions

to make the point that people should be horrified about abortion in general.

12. Are these people insane?

No need to answer that.

That I got the weed from a stranger behind Publix, when it was really John, the guy in my passenger seat?
