A 1 February 2013 post on the Facebook page Occupy This, with a photograph purportedly depicting aborted babies found in garbage bags in dumpster behind abortion mill in Michigan, included the following description of the image's supposed background: Absent from the post was information about the location where the photograph was taken (other than Michigan), the date on which the picture was taken, news reports confirming the purported incident (which appeared to clearly constitute improper disposal of medical waste and/or human remains), or anything else documenting that the photograph was accurately described. A reverse image search quickly yielded better clues as to the image's origins and what it depicted. The photograph first appeared online (in connection with a prominent anti-abortion web site) in February 2010 and thus was three years old at the time it was posted to the Occupy This Facebook page. News article links accompanying the picture's display in February 2010 were no longer operational in 2016, but page on which the photograph was posted indicated that the fetuses had been photographed in Nepal in January 2010 — information seemingly confirmed by a cached 6 January 2010 Nepal News article that reported the discovery of six human fetuses found along a riverbank in that country: As such, the image was definitively not linked to the disposal of fetal tissue or human remains in Michigan (or anywhere else in the United States). The incident depicted occurred in January 2010 in Nepal and was investigated by local authorities as a possible crime (but might have involved stillbirths or instances of infanticide rather than abortions).
