The Bill mandates that abortion providers obtain informed consent from any woman who undergoes an abortion procedure, giving her the choice either to take possession of the fetal remains or to release them to the clinic. In the latter case, the clinic must then “provide for the final disposition of the human fetal tissue through interment or cremation, consistent with State law regarding the disposal of human remains,” according to the bill’s text. Failure to do so would be punishable by a fine and up to five years in prison.The bill mandates that abortion providers obtain informed consent from any woman who undergoes an abortion procedure, giving her the choice either to take possession of the fetal remains or to release them to the clinic.
