Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill Wednesday requiring women to either cremate or bury fetal remains from surgical abortions.
The bill signed into law states the pregnant woman is responsible for the costs related to the final disposition of the fetal remains at the chosen location.
If cremation is chosen, the fetus must also be placed in a grave, crypt, or niche, the measure states. In this Dec. 13, 2019 file photo, Ohio Gov.

Governor Mike DeWine signed a bill on December 30, 2020, which mandates that any aborted fetal tissue must be buried or cremated, with the mother making the decision. If she does not want to choose what to do with the remains, the clinic is responsible to make the choice, with possible fine or jail time if not done.
Laurel Powell of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio feels strongly that the law is just another way to block the freedom of women. “This is honestly just a familiar ploy by these lawmakers who use the chaos at the end of year session to try and pass these unpopular bills,” she said.

Gov. Mike DeWine has signed into law a measure requiring the cremation or burial of aborted babies’ remains, a move that sparked praise from pro-life groups and backlash from pro-abortion groups.
DeWine signed the Unborn Child Dignity Act into law Wednesday, just three weeks after the Ohio legislature passed the bill. Sponsored by state Sen. Joe Uecker, the Unborn Child Dignity Act requires “final disposition of fetal remains from a surgical abortion at an abortion facility (to) be by cremation or interment.”
COLUMBUS – What started with then-Attorney General Mike DeWine s 2015 investigation into Planned Parenthood ended with the Republican governor signing a bill on Wednesday that requires fetal remains be buried or cremated.
Senate Bill 27 requires any zygote, blastocyte, embryo or fetus from a surgical abortion to be buried or cremated. Any woman who obtains an abortion in Ohio would be informed prior to the procedure that she can choose the final disposition of the fetal remains.
If she doesn t choose a location, the abortion facility would select a location and pay for the burial or cremation. If the clinic does not, individuals there could face a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.
