LANSING, MI (WTVB) - The Michigan Senate has approved legislation that would set fines and penalties for medical facilities that dispose of fetal remains in trash dumpsters. An abortion clinic in Delta Township did it several years ago, and Senator Rick Jones has been trying to get the ban passed ever since. No charges were ever brought against the clinic because based on current law, there was no violation. The bill, which now goes to the House, would set a $1,000 fine for violations.
