| Subject: Indiana becomes first U.S. state to require 'funeral' for aborted fetuses Sat Mar 26, 2016 7:59 pm | |
| Indiana Governor Mike Pence has signed a controversial abortion bill that, among other things, requires a 'funeral' for fetal remains and would ban the procedure if it is sought because fetal anomalies or a disability such as Down syndrome have been detected.
Shortly before his deadline to act on the sweeping measure, Pence called the law "a comprehensive pro-life measure that affirms the value of all human life," according to the Associated Press.
The law, which was passed by the legislature earlier this month, would make Indiana the second state in the nation, after North Dakota, to ban abortion in cases where a fetal anomaly is detected. It also would bar the procedure in instances where the decision is based on the sex or race of the fetus.
