5:35Now PlayingA new Texas bill would force women to cremate the remains of their miscarriages. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The Supreme Court’s partial strike of House Bill 2, a sweeping Texas abortion law meant to shutter the state’s clinics, has seemingly had no effect on the can-do spirit of state Republican lawmakers looking to restrict and control access for women seeking the procedure.
In fact, the wildest among them seem to be doubling down.
As documented by the Dallas Morning News, Texas Republicans filed multiple bills yesterday for consideration in the next legislative session that would, among other restrictions, bar women from obtaining abortions due to fetal abnormalities and put into effect rules that would require the burial or cremation of fetal remains in all cases, including abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
Joint Resolution 9 seeks to add a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting abortion to "the fullest extent authorized under federal constitutional law as interpreted by the United States Supreme Court." Texas voters would have to approve the amendment after a two-thirds vote in both chambers put it on the ballot. SJR 9 was filed by Sen. Bob Hall, a Tea Party Republican who won his 2014 election in part campaigning on the idea that Satan had “a stranglehold” on his fellow Republican opponent.
Should a woman access abortion in the Lonestar state, House Bill 201, filed by Rep. Byron Cook, would address the issue of how to dispose of the fetal remains. If the bill becomes law, an abortion provider or any facility that provides care to a woman during abortion or miscarriage would be required to bury or cremate the fetus. Under current rules, fetal tissue is allowed to be incinerated or ground until unrecognizable and disposed of at a sanitary landfill.”*
