Dignity for Aborted Children Act
Introduced Jan 24, 2025 by Sen. Pete Ricketts
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill establishes requirements for abortion providers with respect to the disposal of human fetal tissue from an abortion.
Specifically, it requires abortion providers to obtain a patient's informed consent for one of two specified methods of disposition and to retain the corresponding documentation in the patient's file.
First, patients may choose to retain possession of the tissue. A patient may choose to transfer the tissue to an entity that provides interment or cremation services.
Second, patients may choose to release the tissue to the provider. Providers must ensure any tissue released to them is interred or cremated within seven days of the procedure in a manner consistent with state law regarding the disposal of human remains.
