The sponsor of a bill requiring fetal remains to be buried or cremated is pleased about a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a similar law from Indiana.
Sen. Joe Uecker (R-Miami Township) has sponsored three times in Ohio. He says the language came from that Indiana law.
So while Uecker said he thinks if it passes it will be challenged, the court would ultimately rule it鈥檚 not an undue burden on women seeking abortions.
鈥淪o it would be kind of a difficult process to say that there鈥檚 some other reason that was not considered why it should be unconstitutional.鈥�
Uecker isn鈥檛 happy that the court didn鈥檛 act on another part of the law, banning abortion after the diagnosis of an abnormality.
Ohio has a ban on abortion after a diagnosis of Down syndrome, which along with other bans is working its way through the federal courts.
