I guess once it's out of the mother we must treat it as human.

They didn't act on the "abnormality" part which includes restricting abortions because of sex and race among other things.

Politicians will have to try better next time.

Quote:The portion the court allowed to go into effect requires that the “remains” of abortion or miscarriage be buried or cremated, as required of other human remains.

“This court has already acknowledged that a state has a ‘legitimate interest in proper disposal of fetal remains,’” the court wrote in the unsigned opinion, citing a 1983 decision. “The only remaining question, then, is whether Indiana’s law is rationally related to the state’s interest in proper disposal of fetal remains. We conclude that it is, even if it is not prefectly (sic) tailored to that end."

Technically fetal remains...not human remains.

Nonetheless I suppose this was back when the GOP was pushing the false narrative that the remains were being sold illegally?  Even if not it's a good rule to have.
