In the wake of the deceptive videos pushed out by the Orwellian “Center for Medical Progress,” another fanatical anti-choice group called “Americans United for Life” is now working with ALEC to get legislation passed that would require “fetal death certificates” — for miscarriages. Yes, really.

And their proposed legislation would also ban the donation of tissue for medical research, by mandating that it be cremated. If this insane legislation ever passes, we’re headed full speed back to the Dark Ages, folks.

McConchie, of the AUL, told the Guardian the group had drafted a model “Dignified Final Disposition Act” and was tweaking it in response to the clandestine videos. “We’re working with legislators. There’s a lot of interest.”

The proposed law would mandate that fetal remains be cremated or buried. If cremated, they would have to be cremated separately from medical waste and a county medical examiner would have to authorise the cremation.

The act would also require fetal death certificates for “each fetal death after delivery, miscarriage or abortion”. A stillborn child would need a state-issued “certificate of birth resulting in stillbirth”.
