Texas proposes strict new rules for disposal of aborted fetal tissue

1. It depends on the age of the fetus. 1st trimester can easily be hospital waste and I bet few women

having an early abortion would have a desire to keep the bits. If they do, they can already, rather like having your appendix out and getting it in a jar. Hospital human products/waste is already burnt, ie-cremated.

From the Op, does this mean appendixes, etc, have to be buried or cremated not as hospital waste is?

"Governor Abbott believes human and fetal remains should not be treated like medical waste, and the proposed rule changes affirms the value and dignity of all life," his office said in a statement.

The Texas limitations would be far more stringent than regulations in almost every other state, which allow aborted fetal tissue be disposed of in a similar fashion to human tissue, according to the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights group whose data is used by both sides in the debate.
