An Ohio judge has blocked a common sense law that stopped Planned Parenthood from dumping the bodies of aborted babies in landfills.
The Unborn Child Dignity Act was first introduced in 2016, following an investigation by then Attorney General Mike DeWine into Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facility practices in Ohio. The investigation found that Planned Parenthood’s Ohio locations had been dumping the bodies of aborted babies in landfill
Because the Ohio Revised Code did not define “humane” disposal, the state of Ohio was unable to take legal action.
In 2020, DeWine, as Ohio’s governor, signed into law a new pro-life bill recognizing the humanity of unborn babies killed in abortions.
The legislation requires the Ohio Department of Health to establish rules for the proper and humane burial or cremation of unborn babies who are killed in abortions. It creates penalties for violations and requires abortion facilities to pay for the babies to be cremated or buried.
Such laws not only ensure that aborted babies’ bodies are treated with dignity and respect, they also are a safeguard against abortion facilities trying to sell aborted baby body parts.
Until today.
Hamilton County Judge Alison Hatheway has issued a ruling blocking the law. She claims it somehow violates the state constitutional amendment Ohio voters approved allowing abortions up to birth.
She claimed the law somehow makes it harder for Planned Parenthood to sell abortions.
“If S.B. 27 were allowed to go into effect, it would severely impede access to abortion resulting in delayed or denied health care,” Hatheway wrote.
As a result of the decision, what abortion companies like Planned Parenthood do with the remains of aborted babies is wide open. The abortion giant can continue selling the baby parts to researchers or universities for grisly and dubious research.
Pro-life state lawmakers introduced similar legislation in 2015, after the release of viral undercover videos in which top officials at Planned Parenthood were caught discussing the trade of aborted baby body parts. Later, the Ohio Attorney General’s office discovered that Planned Parenthoods in Ohio contract with waste disposal companies that deposit the remains of aborted babies in landfills.
Neighboring Indiana passed a similar law when Vice President Mike Pence served as governor and later won a victory at the Supreme Court in 2019.
The Indiana law established rules about how abortion facilities must dispose of aborted babies. It allows the pregnant woman to choose a different method at her own expense. According to testimony, the Indianapolis Planned Parenthood facility was disposing of aborted babies down a drain into the sewer system; in response, the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH) implemented emergency disposal rules but they were blocked.
Judge Alison
Post procedure, it goes home with you in a jar. It’s up to you to decide what to do with it. Maybe on the mantle over the fireplace? Maybe in the back yard next to the hamster?
This is sick . . .. the Lord’s Creation.
Hamilton County Judge Alison Hatheway has just outed herself as an activist judge.

Jesus prayed: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”
I cannot apply that to these evil vile human excuses. The word ‘Smite’ is more applicable.
“Such laws not only ensure that aborted babies’ bodies are treated with dignity and respect”... I find this so incongruous, you just murdered them and you are worried about dignity and respect??? Shesh!
But where are the cults going to go so they can burn their crosses and other goofy s**t.
A VERY POOR DEFINITION OF “HEALTH CARE”.
This nation's condemnation will be just and righteous.
Ohio has some very pathetic politicians and sick judges.
Does Ohio have a “medical waste disposal” law? I bet it says you just can’t dump it in a landfill.
Pure disgusting. Needs to be appealed up.
You are right on!
Ghouls.
And it is sad to have to say that. My heart breaks......
Ohio is a schizophrenia state.
Should be buried in a landfill. Not sure whether to wait for her death.
