The Shocking Truth About What Some Abortion Clinics Do To The Bodies Of Aborted Babies

The United States laws and practices concerning fetal dispositions have been examined by Kristi Burton Brown, J.D., an Associate Scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute. The research reportedly found that some states have inadequate laws that allow abortion clinics to dispose the bodies of aborted babies in ways that would present a risk to the health of people in the community.

Brown's paper, Fetal Disposition: The Abuses and The Law, revealed that there are states with broad laws related to the disposal of fetuses. For this reason, some states reportedly allow abortion facilities to grind fetuses and then send the remains to the sewage system. It was also revealed that some clinics perform a one-time incineration of several fetal parts in a single container.

Moreover, the findings stated that there are abortion facilities that violate state laws on fetal disposition. Apparently, some clinics use refrigerators as storage and fail to disinfect their fetal containers. There are also facilities that practice disposing bodies of aborted babies in the municipal solid waste landfills and sending fetal parts through the sanitary sewer.

Burton noted that the archaic status of some state laws allow several fetal disposal methods to be deemed as legal. For one, dumping fetal remains with medical waste into an auger and grind them together is legal in some states. Sending fetuses to another state's dumpsters is also reportedly considered a legal solution to fetal disposition.

Because of the potential hazard that it could bring to the surrounding community, Burton detailed some recommendations on how to properly dispose of the aborted bodies of babies. The researcher suggested that fetal disposition should be limited to individual burial or cremation. She also claimed that mothers should be given the option to pick between burial or cremation through a consent form.

In relation to fetal burial and cremation, Texas is already in for the move and the new rule will reportedly require the bodies of aborted babies to either be buried or cremated, CNN reported. However, this sparked controversy within the state because of the argument whether the rule was made for public safety or to restrict abortions. Additionally, a report from PublicNewsService claimed that the Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights group in Texas have considered litigation to stop the government from imposing the rule starting Dec. 19.
