These days, laws don\u2019t even have to touch abortion itself to get accused of encroaching on the mythic ‘right to choose.’ As we\u2019ve been covering for months now, one of the pro-aborts\u2019 current targets<\/a> is a Texas requirement that facilities which perform abortions must either cremate or bury the children they kill.<\/p>\n

Several states have proposed similar regulations in response to multiple<\/a>\u00a0instances<\/a> of abortionists disposing<\/a> of their victims in landfills — callously treating human remains like garbage.<\/p>\n

Of course, we can\u2019t have the public pausing to reflect on the \u201chuman\u201d in \u201chuman remains,\u201d so cries of controversy persist. Vice\u2019s Lauren Messman has a report<\/a> presenting a batch of the latest objections.<\/p>\n

But the new rules, submitted in July by state health officials and finalized Monday, will require abortion providers to bury or cremate the remains and foot the cost, which is sometimes thousands of dollars per case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To her credit, Messman later quotes Department of State Health Services spokeswoman, Carrie Williams, responding to the cost objection by noting that the “cost is expected to be offset by costs currently being spent by facilities on disposition for transportation, storage, incineration, steam disinfection, and\/or landfill disposal.\u201d You can\u2019t take that sort of thing — ‘hard news’\u00a0accurately presenting both sides of a story<\/a>\u00a0—\u00a0for granted these days.<\/p>\n
