Ohio Bill Would Force Women to Specify Burial or Cremation for Fetal Tissue
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Ohio, Republican lawmakers have announced plans to introduce
legislation requiring women who have miscarriages or abortions to
specify burial or cremation arrangements for their fetal or embryonic
tissue. Indiana and Arkansas have recently passed similar requirements.
The move comes after Ohio Attorney General Mike De Wine spent months
investigating Planned Parenthood following heavily edited, anti-choice
videos surrounding Planned Parenthood's donation of fetal tissue to
medical researchers. As in multiple other investigations, Ohio turned up
nothing.
