[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And what is truly disgusting is that Texas law demands all fetal remains be buried or cremated meaning women forced to give birth to dead or dying babies are then forced to fork over $$$ to pay for funerals.

[quote]In addition to the abortion bans, another Texas law that came into effect when Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health reversed Roe requires all fetal remains to be buried or cremated. It's a law that Molly Duane, staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, challenged in court in 2017 and succeeded in blocking for years until Roe was overturned.

Duane calls Texas's laws on abortion and pregnancy "hypocritical." "They prohibit abortion even for people like [Casiano] — and they do so unapologetically — while simultaneously not providing any support for women and families," she says.

"Where is the state of Texas to provide the safety net for her, after forcing her to give birth to a child that didn't survive and never would?" she asks.

Amy O'Donnell, director of communications for the Texas Alliance for Life... says she supports the abortion bans and opposes creating exceptions for fetal anomalies.

"I do believe the Texas laws are working as designed," she says. "I also believe that we have a responsibility to educate Texas women and families on the resources that we have available to them, both for their pregnancy, for childbirth and beyond, as well as in situations where they face an infant loss."

She says several private and religious organizations provide free caskets and other services, but said public funds for infant funerals is not currently part of the "Alternatives to Abortion" state program.[/quote]

It’s all apart of the grift. A tax on Texas families and a boon for Texas funeral parlors, courtesy of the “pro life” movement. I’ll bet the religious charities will give you an empty diaper box to burn your baby in and pat themselves on the back for their piety. [/quote]

That is horrible, but it is all GOP brand right now. [/quote]
