Five.&#8221; These infants were recovered from an abortion clinic operated by Cesare Santangelo and were previously housed by pro-life advocate Lauren Handy. the coalition argues that evidence was mishandled by the Biden Administration, which allegedly sought to obstruct investigations related to violations of the Partial-Birth abortion Act and the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act.<\/p>\n<p>The letter from the pro-life groups highlights concerns that the Department of Justice under Biden attempted to suppress details of the case while prosecuting activists for their involvement in recovering the bodies. Some activists were charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. trump later pardoned several of these individuals, though they argue that their actions were aimed at protecting the unborn rather than committing a crime.<\/p>\n<p>The groups emphasize the need for accountability and adherence to legal standards in protecting the lives of vulnerable unborn children. They urge Pirro to take the necessary steps to investigate and uphold the law in the nation&#8217;s capital. This request builds upon previous efforts by Republican representatives to call for federal investigations into what they describe as a coverup by the Biden Administration regarding later-term abortions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ej2NWOZCFTE\">Rep.
