WASHINGTON—Congressman Brandon Gill will introduce legislation Wednesday barring abortionists from dumping aborted baby remains into publicly owned water systems, The Daily Wire can first report.
The Texas Republican’s legislation deals with a morbid and often under-discussed topic: the disposal of aborted fetal remains. While some states have laws requiring that aborted baby remains be cremated or buried, a number of states do not, allowing abortionists to dispose of aborted baby remains by flushing the bodies down the garbage disposal, ultimately casting their remains into public sewage.
Gill described the bill, the Respectful Treatment of Unborn Remains Act, as part of the “greater fight to protect all life from the evil of abortion” and restore “some dignity after death.”
“Every life is precious and has value, from the moment of conception until natural death,” Gill told The Daily Wire. “Not only does abortion rob an unborn baby of their life, but abortionists further rob them of a dignified burial by carelessly discarding their fetal remains into public water systems — a disgusting and abhorrent practice.”
“This careless discard of human body parts signifies the depraved disregard for the sanctity of life at abortion clinics,” he added. “Beyond the moral outrage, introducing fetal remains into public water systems also poses a serious public health concern, potentially contaminating water sources.”
Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) introduced similar legislation while he served in the House, and will introduce the Senate companion to Gill’s bill this year as well.
