Pence Signed a Law Requiring Burial or Cremation for Aborted Fetuses

Woman of Indiana are pissed and have started a campaign "Periods for Pense" and recently "Tampons for Trump." Woman are just not going to take this shit anymore!!

The sweeping abortion bill that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed into law in March gained national attention for prohibiting women from electing to have an abortion due to the race, gender, or disability of the fetus. But the bill contained another unusual provision: It required that aborted fetuses receive what amounts to a funeral.

Pence, whom Donald Trump announced as his vice presidential running mate on Friday, signed the law that made Indiana the second state ever, after North Dakota, to pass a ban on abortions carried out for certain reasons. The law also imposed liability for wrongful death on doctors that perform an abortion motivated by one of the prohibited reasons. And, as Mother Jones reported in March, the law also required that health care facilities inter or cremate the remains of an aborted fetus, and prohibited fetal tissue donation.

That's totally disgusting.

He also slashed Planned Parenthood funding, supported deporting undocumented children, refused to comply with Obama administration on prison rape, voted against raising minimum wage, voted against expanding health coverage for low income kids, and he has a beyond horrible record in LGBT rights.

In Congress, Pence was a champion of conservative and religious causes. He voted against measures aimed at preventing LGBT discrimination and helping families in poverty, and he supported federal legislation prohibiting same-sex marriage. As governor of Indiana, Pence has brought this Religious Right-friendly agenda to the state and enacted a number of stringent socially conservative measures.
