Dignity for Aborted Children Act
This bill requires abortion providers to offer patients specific disposal options for fetal remains after an abortion, including taking the remains or having the provider arrange interment or cremation. Providers must obtain patient consent in writing for disposal choices and retain these records. If patients choose provider disposal, providers must arrange final disposition (interment or cremation) within 7 days, with penalties including fines up to $50,000 for documentation failures or criminal charges for non-compliance. Annual reports on procedures and disposal methods are also mandated for providers and the Secretary of Health.
