Judge Again Blocks Ohio Law Requiring Burial or Cremation for Aborted Babies

For the second time, a judge in Ohio has issued a preliminary injunction blocking the enforcement of a new Ohio law that would require the remains of aborted children to be cremated or buried.

Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Alison Hatheway issued the injunction on Feb 2. The injunction will prevent Ohio from enforcing its law until a lawsuit against the Ohio Department of Health is resolved.

The law would have been enforceable on Feb 8 if Judge Hatheway did not issue another injunction.

Ohio Right to Life President Mike Gonidakis issued the following statement:
Requiring the broken bodies of abortion victims to be humanely buried is simply common decency. The abortion industry’s desire to deny the innocent unborn even the right to a proper burial reveals where their allegiances lie: not with basic decency, but with their bottom line. Regardless of all obstacles thrown in our way, Pro-Life Ohio will never cease our advocacy until the dignity of every precious and irreplaceable human life is both respected and protected under law.
