Pro-Life Activists Gather For Daily Protest At DC Mayor Bowser’s Office Demanding #JusticeForTheFive
Who: Activists with Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising
What: Daily protest and vigil
When: Everyday at 12 noon (except Tuesday we will meet at 9AM)
Where: DC Mayor Bowser’s Office
Why: On April 5th, 23 members of Congress issued a letter to DC Mayor Bowser and DCPD demanding an autopsy for each of the 5 babies discovered in a Curtis Bay medical waste box outside Washington Surgi-Center on March 25th. The letter made 6 other demands in reference to these babies. Mayor Bowser responded by outright refusing to investigate the deaths of “the five” and instead made threats against the PAAU activists who’d recovered the babies from Curtis Bay.
On April 8th Senator James Lankford also issued a letter directly to Attorney General Merrick Garland - with 69 co-signatures - demanding that the DOJ and FBI investigate whether federal law was broken in the death of these children.
Later that day Senator Ted Cruz also wrote a similar letter to Mayor Bowser specifically emphasizing his authority on the topic of enforcing the constitution, and demanding that no evidence be destroyed. The mayor and the DCPD have failed to respond to these follow-ups.
Two critical questions must be addressed: 1) Were federal laws broken in the killing of these late term babies? 2) Is the DC mayor involved in a cover-up...is she behaving as an “accessory after the fact” to protect her own political and financial interests?
These babies deserve justice. For the next two weeks, PAAU activists will hold a daily demonstrations and vigils outside Mayor Bowser’s office as we continue seeking #JusticeForTheFive
