Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed into law a bill requiring the burial or cremation of aborted babies remains, one of many pro-life bills enacted in the state in recent years.
Lee signed the Unborn Child Dignity Act into law last week. The bill declares that “final disposition of fetal remains from a surgical abortion at an abortion facility must be by cremation or interment.” The mother has the option to decide where she wants the remains disposed but if she declines to state a preference, the decision is left to the abortion facility.

They use talking points and euphemisms to deceive… ‘a woman’s right to choose, her reproductive rights, or exercising her bodily autonomy.’ Why can’t they just call it what it is?” These were some of the remarks in a speech given by Anna Young, winner of the recent Tennessee Right to Life Pro-Life Oratory Contest for high school students.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has allowed a Tennessee law requiring women seeking an abortion to wait 48 hours before they can undergo the procedure to take effect until a ruling on the lawâs constitutionality is reached.Â
In a brief opinion released last Friday, a majority of judges on the Sixth Circuit agreed to stay a lower court ruling that placed an injunction on the 2015 waiting period law and granted an appeal in the case.
