An Ohio bill requiring the humane disposal of aborted fetal remains via burial or cremation has now passed both the House and Senate, and is expected to be signed into law<\/a> by Governor Mike DeWine, as reported by Live Action News. The article notes, “Currently, fetal remains are often disposed of as medical waste in Ohio,” but the bill would ensure that “women who undergo abortions are able to choose if their child\u2019s body is buried or cremated rather than tossed into a medical waste bin.”<\/p>\n

One witness who testified on behalf of the bill before the House Civil Justice Committee on December 3, 2020, was Jessica Echeverry, whose abortion healing story was previously featured<\/a> by Live Action News. Echeverry offered a rarely-heard perspective on the importance of the bill from a post-abortive mother’s point of view.<\/p>\n
