Supreme Court Rejects Abortionists’ Challenge to Indiana’s Pro-Life Fetal Burial Law

Abortionists object to having to recognize the humanity of their victims.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to hear a challenge to a 2016 Indiana requirement for the humane burial of fetal remains, ensuring it will remain in effect for the time being.

In 2016, then-Gov. Mike Pence signed a wide-ranging pro-life law that requires abortionists to offer women the opportunity to see ultrasound images of their preborn babies, bans abortions sought specifically due to a baby’s race, sex, or disabilities, and requires aborted babies to be either buried or cremated instead of disposed like medical waste.

The various aspects of the law have been subjected to various legal challenges in the years since, most recently the fetal burial provision, which had been upheld by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year. Abortion allies attempted to appeal that decision to the nation’s highest court, which has now declined, Reuters reports.

The plaintiffs in the case, an Indianapolis abortion facility and two of its customers, had tried to claim that the requirement amounted to forced expression of a particular view of human life. U.S. District Judge Richard Young had agreed with that argument, but the 7th Circuit rejected it, noting that the law did not compel action on the part of individual abortion seekers, who “may choose to take custody of the remains and dispose of them as they please.”

Something about the disposal of medical waste?

That's basically the creepy Democrat position on this subject.
