Prohibits the use of fetal organs or tissue resulting from elective abortions for medical, scientific, research, experimental, or therapeutic purposes or any other use

HB 2694 prohibits the use of fetal organs or tissue obtained from elective abortions for medical, scientific, research, or therapeutic purposes. The bill specifically bans individuals and entities from utilizing these tissues if they know the abortion was performed to harvest them, and it forbids offering financial or other inducements to parents to conceive or undergo an abortion for this specific purpose. Additionally, the legislation restricts the exchange of valuable consideration for fetal tissue derived from abortions, while explicitly allowing payments for burial, autopsy, or pathological examinations. This law applies to all persons and entities involved in the process and includes a severability clause to ensure remaining provisions stay in effect if any part is ruled invalid.
