A pro-life leader who stored fetuses inside her D.C. home was given a nearly five-year prison sentence Tuesday for blocking an abortion clinic, as fellow activists accused the Biden administration of using federal law enforcement to go after political opponents.
U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly handed down a 57-month sentence to Lauren Handy — who authorities discovered had five fetuses in her home when she was charged two years ago — for organizing a 2020 blockade of a D.C. abortion clinic that saw 10 pro-life advocates infiltrate the facility and chain up the entrance.and William Goodman were also sentenced Tuesday to 21 and 27 months behind bars, respectively, for their roles in the blockade at Washington Surgi-Clinic in Northwest.
Supporters said authorities are trying to make an example of Handy by giving her one of the harshest sentences so far. A nurse at the facility sprained her ankle during the fracas while one woman climbed through a window to access the clinic. Darnel livestreamed the incident.Handy previously acquired aborted fetuses from a disposal worker outside the facility, Ms. Smith said, and at least five of the unborn children were at 28 weeks gestation or older.Prosecutors had sought a sentence of more than six years, at the higher end of Handy’s offense range.
Six people were convicted this year for their roles in a 2021 FACE Act violation in Nashville, Tennessee.
