A BILL To protect the dignity of fetal remains, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the "Dignity for Aborted Children Act," aims to protect the dignity of fetal remains by requiring abortion providers to obtain informed consent from patients on the disposal of fetal tissue. The bill mandates that providers either transfer the fetal tissue to the patient for interment or cremation, or dispose of it through interment or cremation themselves, within 7 days of the abortion procedure. Providers who fail to obtain patient consent or properly dispose of the fetal tissue would face civil and criminal penalties. The bill also requires abortion providers to report annual data on the number of abortions performed and the methods used to dispose of fetal remains.
