Dignity for Aborted Children Act mandates informed consent for fetal tissue disposal post-abortion.
The Dignity for Aborted Children Act requires physicians to provide patients with an informed consent form detailing options for the disposal of fetal tissue after an abortion. Patients can choose to take possession of the tissue, transfer it to an entity for interment or cremation, or release it to the physician. Physicians must ensure final disposition through interment or cremation if the patient releases the tissue. The Act also mandates annual reporting by physicians and entities receiving fetal tissue, and it outlines civil penalties for non-compliance.
