EXCLUSIVE — A coalition of 35 anti-abortion organizations is urging Congress to intervene to stop the Washington, D.C., medical examiner’s office from getting rid of what they say are the bodies of five babies believed to be potential victims of infanticide.

The letter, obtained by the Washington Examiner, comes as the D.C. medical examiner confirmed Monday its plans to destroy the remains on Feb. 9, and was sent after a media report on Monday indicated the Biden Justice Department advised the medical examiner to get rid of the bodies.
