The text of the Pence signed Indiana Law Bill 1337 on the handling and interment of miscarriages and aborted embryos. Note the remains are excluded from being handled by medical waste corporations like Mitt Romney/Bain Capital's Stericycle.

The embryo or fetus need not have a Christian name, but parents names, doctor and institution data must be recorded. The Bill says Indiana provides fetal hospice services for fetuses with fatal or debilitating birth defects, and abortion for these reasons violates this law.

Indiana Law 1337 Governor Mike Pence
