Texas fetal tissue burial law on trial at U.S. court

(Worthy News) – A court hearing on a Texas law requiring the burial or cremation of aborted fetal tissue opened on Monday with the state arguing the requirement was a matter of dignity, while abortion providers called it unnecessary and aimed at impeding clinic operations.

U.S. District Judge David Ezra, who had temporary halted the law, said he wanted to keep the hearing in the Texas capital, Austin, from being influenced by speculation that a new U.S. Supreme Court justice to replace the retiring Anthony Kennedy could alter national abortion law.

Ezra, appointed by former Republican President Ronald Reagan, said it would be “folly and a great deal of injustice” to base a decision on what the Supreme Court may eventually decide on abortion. [ Source: Reuters (Read More…) ]
