Summary
The bill forces physicians who perform abortions to give patients a consent form that lists ways to dispose of the fetal tissue, and if the patient hands the tissue to the doctor, the doctor must arrange cremation or burial within seven days. Doctors and anyone they give the tissue to must file annual reports on the number of abortions and how the tissue was disposed. Violations can lead to civil fines or misdemeanors, but patients cannot be prosecuted for the doctor’s violations.
