The medical examiner’s office in Washington has informed attorneys from the Thomas More Society that the Department of Justice (DOJ) instructed them to destroy the remains of five babies this week.

The remains had been retained as evidence following a request by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other legislators after allegations surfaced that the babies were victims of illegal late-term abortions.
