A well-known antiabortion activist and West Virginia Catholic priest, the Rev. William Kuchinsky, oversaw a funeral Mass in a Capitol Hill basement apartment kitchen for the fetuses. Later he buried dozens of tiny containers in the dirt in a private cemetery.
Kuchinsky, a West Virginia priest well known for his antiabortion activism, had been called to the apartment on March 28 by other antiabortion activists who said they had gotten the remains from the driver of a medical waste disposal truck in D.C. — an account the waste company denied.
The women and several longtime antiabortion advocates, including Randall Terry, founder of the group Operation Rescue, later said they had procured remains of 115 fetuses on the sidewalk outside Surgi-Clinic from a driver carting away medical waste, whom they had asked for the remains. in his black-and-white vestments, a candle atop the refrigerator where the fetal remains were waiting and an open Bible on the kitchen table beside him.Kuchinsky said he assumed the fetuses had not been baptized, and therefore — from the Catholic point of view — weren’t Christian. So he selected a Mass liturgy for children who die without being baptized. He had to tweak the wording, he said, because normally it addresses the parents’ loss as well.
They sang a folk song Bukovinac wrote called “Pro Life Revolution,” which the women have also sung outside the D.C. medical examiner’s office since.“The children needed to be buried,” he said. “I didn’t have time to get a box.” Handy and Bukovinac say they are returning to their regular routines. They protest in front of clinics, and now also in front of the mayor’s office, hoping to pressure officials for autopsies and to keep the story in public view. They said they are traumatized by what they saw; Bukovinac says she is having nightmares.
