US Supreme Court upholds Indiana abortion cremation or burial law.

The US Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to Indiana's requirement that abortion providers bury or cremate embryonic or fetal remains following the procedure. The law, signed in 2016 by Republican then-Governor Mike Pence, also lets patients dispose of the remains on their own. The plaintiffs argued that the law unconstitutionally compelled them to express the state's message that an embryo or fetus is a person and ran afoul of their moral or religious beliefs by treating embryonic tissue in the same manner as the remains of a deceased person.
