Texas Law to Require Abortion Burials
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission says it wants to ensure 'highest standards of human dignity' by mandating cremation or interment of aborted fetuses.

Jul 12, 2016
Following in the footsteps of Indiana, Arkansas and Georgia, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has proposed new rules requiring all fetal remains to be cremated and/or buried. (Some sources have reported that the rule change will mandate actual funerals for aborted fetuses, though we found nothing in the wording of the proposal that could be interpreted that way.)

The revised rules, which are currently subject to a 30-day public comment period, would place all fetal tissue, regardless of gestation stage, in a separate category from other types of medical waste and mandate special provisions for their disposal, namely interment, cremation, incineration followed by interment or steam disinfection followed by interment.

Commission spokesman Bryan Black says the rules, which he expects to go into effect in September 2016, will "ensure Texas law maintains the highest standards of human dignity," the Dallas Morning News reported.

"Incineration followed by internment" . It's probably a great time to own land near the nearest abortion clinic operating in Texas.

After all these decades Texas decides they want to insure the highest standards of human dignity now?

what a waste...medical research will suffer.

Okay by me, as long as it's taxpayer-funded. They will, of course, not do that, but will instead try to fob off paying for it onto the women.

If Texas actually cared about human dignity they'd reform their death-penalty laws, of course.

The death penalty needs to be done away with especilly in a state that murders people quick before they can be exonerated.

Yeah, I was thinking if Texas actually cared about human dignity they would do something about their horrible prisons and their profligate use of the death penalty.

The "chair" wouldn't get any use if there were no murderers.

The Texas penal system is a perversion of true justice. I know that might sound like a hard saying, but it would require stepping outside of a mindset that sees retributive justice as the only form of real justice. It would also require a healthy respect for human experience.

For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.​

Many societies maintain social order without having Texas style "justice". In fact some of the states with the harshest sentencing laws also have more crime than those that do not. Harsh sentencing and treatment of prisoners reflects the surrounding society's attitude more than it seems to influence the crime rate.

This goes back to something I was saying on the Theologia Crucis forum, I am afraid many conservative Protestants have a distorted anthropology focused on punishment and human depravity.

Humans are depraved, which is the very reason for the cross, and the "sword" of the state is a gift from God to prevent anarchy. When people know that there is no consequences for their actions, things get crazy and quickly. Have you ever witnessed a mob in action?

except the death penalty does nothing to deter crime...

Dignity or stupidity? Sounds more like Auschwitz-For-The-Unborn.

Some pregnancies may require an abortion to save the life of the mother, but beyond that, the abortions can be prevented. Either don't have sex or accept the responsibility that goes along with it. If the couple is unable or unwilling to raise the child, there are a lot of loving couples out there who are able to do it.

Society nowadays is just sex crazy, want to abort, and repeat, thus becoming unwitting participants into what could be classified as ritual sacrifice. Granted, in modern times it may not follow any exact ancient rites/rituals in purpose, but it seems to follow the same insanity.

This is good news. If that law ever gets implemented, it will mean abortion will rightfully be recognized as murder.

Medical research also suffered when we stopped experimenting on prisoners, the disabled, minorities, etc.

The death penalty for murder is commanded by God, not just in the Law of Moses, but to Noah.
But, there is also a completely ignored connection between the abundance of violence and murder in a land, and the human sacrifice of aborting innocent children.

Putting it simply, abortion is state sanctioned human sacrifice!

There are many references in scripture condemning "The sin of Jeroboam that caused Israel to sin".
ie. A king, or government can actually cause a nation to go into sin. In Jeroboam's case, he set up idols in opposition to the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, and commanded people to acknowledge them as the Gods of Israel. The result was that the northern kingdom went off the rails and ended up in captivity.

Various governments have created laws that encouraged people to kill their children. Apart from the suffering of the children, these evil laws wrought untold spiritual damage upon these nations

Abortion pollutes the land and grants sovereignty to Satan and his demonic horde to rule there, which of course then unleashes further bloodshed and violence.

The answer is not to halt the death sentence on criminals, but to stop the death sentence on children!
Innocent blood brings bloodguilt on the land.

Deut21v1“If a slain person is found lying in the open country in the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess, and it is not known who has struck him, 2then your elders and your judges shall go out and measure the distance to the cities which are around the slain one. 3“It shall be that the city which is nearest to the slain man, that is, the elders of that city, shall take a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked and which has not pulled in a yoke; 4and the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a valley with running water, which has not been plowed or sown, and shall break the heifer’s neck there in the valley. 5“Then the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near, for the LORD your God has chosen them to serve Him and to bless in the name of the LORD; and every dispute and every assault shall be settled by them. 6“All the elders of that city which is nearest to the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley; 7and they shall answer and say, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it. 8‘Forgive Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, O LORD, and do not place the guilt of innocent blood in the midst of Your people Israel.’ And the bloodguiltiness shall be forgiven them. 9“So you shall remove the guilt of innocent blood from your midst, when you do what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
