What it does
The Respectful Treatment of Unborn Remains Act of 2025 would prohibit abortion providers from placing fetal remains into publicly owned water systems, such as government-owned drains, pipes, or treatment facilities. Violations could result in fines, up to five years in prison, or both, while individuals who undergo abortions would be exempt from liability under the bill. The law defines fetal remains broadly to include aborted fetal tissue and associated medical waste, and explicitly states it does not override stricter state or local laws on the matter.
