Texas: you must have a funeral for your abortion

[NuclearEnergy]

And yet they don't give a damn about them when they are actually alive. Or should I say, out of the womb, or more than a few hours old.

The strategy is to grant fetuses the same dignity as children and adults. This will set a precedent to later argue they deserve the same legal protection.

Why can't I find a YouTube clip of that scene from Bojack Horseman where Diane is scheduling an abortion and is told the law says she has to do everything from listen to the fetus' heartbeat to watching "20 hours of cute puppy videos as Sarah McLachlan’s ‘I Will Remember You’ plays softly.”

Oh god I love Bojack Horseman.  And its portrayal of abortion is actually one of my favorite in any media because while it's a significant decision for Diane, her husband (who just happens to be a dog) is fully supportive of her, it doesn't rip apart their relationship (which is an easy trope that TV and movies use), and it doesn't define her character for even the rest of the episode let alone the rest of the season.

Also...this picture is just hilarious..

People should be free to choose how to dispose of their dead children.

Aye, and us atheists should be free to throw them onto the barbecue, not have to put them into the ground.
Such a waste.
I agree with you on this outrage.

Also, fetal tissue cannot be used for research and must be used for funeral purposes. Either Texas does not allow people to donate their bodies to science (or maybe even support organ donor programs) or they've created a ludicrous double standard about fetal tissue vs. post-born human tissue.
