The latest experiment in “small government” regulations from Texas Republicans:

Fetal Tissue Rules Create ‘Staggering Financial Burden’ for #Texans @HillaryClinton @LatinosMatter #Texas https://t.co/p7E6Xv7dts

“…In the new proposed regulations, published quietly before a holiday weekend in the Texas Register, the state health department does not explain how a 4-week-old embryo can be cremated, or even easily identified by medical personnel in the case of a spontaneous abortion — a miscarriage — that occurs at a regulated facility. Experts estimate that between 15 and 20 percent of those who know they are pregnant miscarry; among people who may not yet know they’re pregnant, that rate could be as high as between 60 and 70 percent.”
………..
“Requiring the expenditure of any money to bury an embryo the size of a poppy seed strikes me as regulation beyond common sense or common decency.”
