Texas Fetal Burial Law Trial Begins After Pointed 5th Circuit Rulings
Courthouse News Service’s Kelsey Jukam reports that there is a trial in Texas to determine if healthcare providers should be required to bury or cremate fetal remains following an abortion. U.S. District Judge David Ezra has come under fire for issuing a discovery order to a group of Roman Catholic bishops affiliated with the case, with Fifth Circuit Judge James Ho claiming the incident was “to retaliate against people of faith for not only believing on the sanctity of life — but also for wanting to do something about it.” Ezra said, “Nothing could be further from the truth.”
