A coalition of 23 Republican members of Congress is demanding that Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Metropolitan Police Department carry out an investigation into the deaths of five fetuses in the city who may have been killed in violation of federal abortion laws.

The case came to light after activists with Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU) said they had obtained a box of medical waste containing 115 aborted fetuses from a Washington abortion clinic, and that there were indications that five of the procedures weren’t done legally.
