Anti-Abortion Activist Bragged About 'Dumpster Diving' for Fetuses

[Jilly_in_VA]

The anti-abortion activist accused of storing fetal remains in her home has spent years tweeting about scouring abortion clinic grounds for fetuses and then burying them.

Lauren Handy, indicted Wednesday for allegedly blockading an abortion clinic, has not hidden her interest in creeping around abortion clinics. In a Twitter thread published in October 2020, Handy said that, by 2016, she was “regularly dumpster diving” at a Maryland abortion clinic to retrieve fetuses for a “proper burial.”

What a HORRIBLE person

1. Wouldn't that be considered medical waste?

And therefore, specifically NOT disposed of in a dumpster out back?

[WA-03 Democrat]

3. Yes

[dixiechiken1]

5. That's what I thought...

So the question remains, how tf did she get her hands on (at least) 5 aborted fetuses? The creep factor on this whole thing is off the scale.

Thx, WA-03 Dem!

7. See post #6 for how she obtained them. n/t

[hlthe2b]

2. I don't buy that in any possible way. There is no way a medical facility of any kind

(especially one with human remains) would not treat the surgical biologic matter as the biohazards that they are. For many decades, now... Not buying it. It is illegal to even dispose of animal remains (dumpster) in such a manner. Some corrupted funeral homes, maybe, but horrible (and LYING) only begin to describe her.

[musette_sf]

8. +1

[genxlib]

4. This sounds like bullshit to me

Medical waste is highly regulated and I don't believe for one second that an abortion clinic would run afoul of those rules by using a dumpster. If for no other reason to keep people like this away from them.

6. The fetuses found in her residence (which she is leasing from a TFG appointee, member of...

The federalist society, and former clerk to Ginni’s justice, BTW) we’re obtained during an armed raid on a DC clinic.

Since some sea lion is bound to ask: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=16553268

9. Ugh. 😠

[Throck]

10. Medical waste?

Sounds like the clinic isn't handling medical waste properly.

Facilities I've worked at either incinerated it on site or specifically bagged it for sterilization or incineration off site at a dedicated facility. Items thrown into a dumpster could breed germs and become a really bad biohazard situation.

Biohazard material was bagged and held securely inside until picked up.

[Hekate]

15. Sounds like this freaky fanatic is lying about how she obtained this material...

Seriously. A movement that intentionally assassinates doctors and maims clinic workers is not going to be stopped by a little thing like lying in their holy cause.

Post 6 says there was an armed raid on a clinic.

[Jilly_in_VA]

17. Of course she's lying

which is why I posted it. And if these are "persons", as she claims, she should be charged with abuse of a corpse x5 or however many there were.

[Hekate]

18. Really should be charged with mishandling biohazardous medical waste...

These fanatics are not stopping.

[mercuryblues]

19. exactly. Which is how I know she is lying.

I she did find them in a dumpster, she could have shut them down with 1 anonymous phone call.

She obtained them illegally.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. One of her co-conspirators just unboxed some fetal remains on Facebook.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. Well, then. Those anti-abortion activists should know of their burial sites.

.

This also brings up another question, which land are they on and who officiated over their burial rites?

Are they in marked graves or unmarked graves?

.

[Hugin]

13. If their plan was to sneak them into a church yard late at night...

Expect to see a righteous explosion of wrath from the true believers of biblical proportions about interring the un-baptized in consecrated ground.

At that point dealing with the Feds will be the least of their worries.

[Emile]

14. The human energy field of sociopathic maniacs are now dumpster diving, what a crazy world

we live in!

[3catwoman3]

16. So Rick Santorum is not the only one...

…to take a fetus home. Creepy beyond words.
