If GOP Wins Senate, Ted Cruz Vows Hearings For ‘The Five’ Aborted Babies In DC – And ‘The Abortion Industry’ At Large

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) vowed to hold hearings on behalf of the five babies whose bodies were recovered by pro-life activists from an abortion clinic.

In a letter to Muriel Bowser — the Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C. — Cruz wrote in his capacity as Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Constitution that the D.C. Metropolitan Police is obligated to investigate the deaths of the babies.

“It is a clear injustice that these children may have been murdered or aborted in violation of federal law, and that the D.C. government entities that this Congress oversees are unwilling to investigate the circumstance and may instead destroy all evidence,” he wrote. “It appears that the Metropolitan Police Department has assumed the cause and nature of these children’s deaths without an investigation. It has recently been brought to my attention that the D.C. government may incinerate the bodies of these five children without conducting an investigation, without performing any autopsies, and without affording these children a proper, respectful burial.”

As The Daily Wire has previously reported, pro-life activists recovered a box allegedly containing 110 pulverized first-trimester children and five premie-sized babies, which was was about to be sent from Washington Surgi-Clinic to Curtis Bay Medical Waste Facility — a facility that continues to insist, ignoring photographs of its labeling on the box of aborted babies, that it does not burn fetal remains.

In reaction to the situation, Cruz noted that if the Republican Party gains the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections, he will become Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution. Accordingly, he plans to “schedule hearings on likely violations, like those at issue with these five children, of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 and the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.”

Even more so, Cruz plans to schedule hearings on “Big Abortion” — namely, on “how this industry has directed faulty, one-sided research; promoted statements suggesting that women cannot be equal under the law or succeed in the workplace without the ability to kill their children in the womb; advertised dangerous abortion on-demand pills that create grave risks of medical complications to both mother and child; and profited from the killing of millions of children.”

“To be clear, the remains of these five children are critical evidence in the Congressional oversight that the Subcommittee on the Constitution will conduct in the imminent future,” he continued. “Should the Executive Office of the Mayor and the Metropolitan Police Department decide not to conduct timely autopsies, this letter provides notice that these remains should not be destroyed, incinerated, or discarded, but instead should be respectfully preserved so that Congress can conduct necessary and vital oversight.”

The Supreme Court is presently considering arguments for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which pertains to a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks gestation. As the justices prepare to release their verdict, a growing number of lawmakers across the country are filing bills to abolish abortion rather than regulating it through heartbeat acts and cutoffs at various gestational ages.

Texas State Rep. Bryan Slaton (R), for example, introduced a bill that would “ensure the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all unborn children from the moment of fertilization.” In an interview last year, Slaton told The Daily Wire that “to end the outright murder of innocent children, states must be willing to stand up and ban it with or without the Court’s permission.”
