âNormally the baby is abandoned in the abortion clinic and itâs thrown out in the trash or medical waste which is trash,â said Representative Tim Rudd of Rutherford County.
Rudd is the primary sponsor of the original bill in the House. It was then approved in the Senate Wednesday morning.
If the woman chooses a burial location other than the one provided by the facility then the patient has to pay the burial bill.
