Texas blocked from requiring burial for fetus remains, judge rules

Source: CBS

A federal judge on Thursday blocked until at least next month hotly debated Texas rules mandating burial or cremation of fetal remains that were set to go into effect within days.
...

The lawsuit argues that the rules serve no medical purpose and are meant to shame women who seek abortions and make it harder for doctors to provide them.

Sparks granted a temporary restraining order blocking the rules, then scheduled two days of testimony for early next month. He expects to rule by Jan. 6 on whether they will be allowed to stand going forward.

A little bit of good news, if this ends up like the previous law, it'll get struck down fast.

If a human life is ended by an abortion, or an "alleged miscarriage", why not sponsor legislation to have a coroner give a cause of death in all .... "alleged miscarriages"?

See if the wacko's go where their logic actually leads.

And sometimes the brazen stupidity is just embarrassing. After the election I wanted to move out of the country so bad but the wife wants to stay near the grandchildren. I said bring them with us

Because every time a condom or diaphragm is used, those would have to be included too. Makes sense if the law is to be applied consistently.

i.e. ridiculous!
