New abortion law in the state of Texas causes twitter meltdown

On Monday, Texas officials, with the support of Governor Greg Abbott, established new rules preventing health care facilities from disposing of fetal remains following an abortion or any miscarriage that requires a medical procedure. Instead, women must now pay for the burial or cremation of the remains.

If you have a miscarriage at a hospital in the great state of Texas, you must now pay for a funeral for

the fetus. I'm out of words.

 This will encourage women having a miscarriage not to see a doctor. That's unconscionable.

It's disgusting that this rule exists. Good news is it's hard to imagine it won't be struck down in Court.

Keep in mind that fetal burial laws aren't just in Texas; Ohio has one coming down the pike & VP
-elect Pence signed one into law in Indiana.
