Humane Burial for ALL babies

2/3/2023

0 Comments

 
In December, we were contacted about a novel problem with Ohio law that was making it difficult or impossible for women who had a non-surgical abortion to bury her baby. Ohio law generally handles fetal death before and after 20 weeks differently, and in recent years created an optional pathway for women experiencing miscarriage before 20 weeks to have those remains interred. Ohio also passed a law requiring victims of surgical abortion to be interred through burial or cremation (this law is not in effect due to pending litigation). However, the laws do not (seem to) create a pathway for women who elect non-surgical abortion to obtain the paperwork necessary to bury their baby.


While it may seem counter-intuitive that this is necessary, we are seeing and hearing that as abortion pills - legally and illegally obtained, are flooding the state, more women immediately regret their actions. While abortion pill reversal has helped many women, it isn't 100% effective and many women do not know about it until too late.


We have been working with a broad coalition of interested parties, state agencies, and now lawmakers to identify a solution to this small but complex issue. We'll keep you updated on how it is fixed.


Consider learning more about post-abortion healing programs, local organizations that help with families that experience pregnancy and infant loss, and abortion pill reversal.
