Texas just can’t seem to stop messing with women’s reproductive rights. This week it continued its years-long assault on abortion, finalizing a law that will require hospitals and health care clinics to perform funeral services—burial or cremation—for aborted fetuses, rather than dispose of them as biological medical waste. The chilling new law, going into effect December 19, is championed by Texas’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott. “I believe it is imperative to establish higher standards that reflect our respect for the sanctity of life,” he said in a fundraising email that was published by The Texas Tribune earlier this year.

That Abbott’s personal beliefs as a 59-year-old conservative man are about to become law for the women of Texas is an awful truth: This measure means that both women seeking abortions and those who very much want a child but suffer a miscarriage at a health care facility or an ectopic pregnancy (in which the fetus begins developing outside the fetus, a condition that can endanger a woman’s life) must face the psychological torment of burying or cremating their embryos. It also does the neat trick of presenting an as-yet-unknown but certainly unnecessary financial hurdle to both providers and patients. How will this new requirement impact the cost of abortion? And perhaps most important, it endangers women’s health by creating a potential deterrent to women seeking a safe abortion. Salon points to evidence that “a large number of Texas women are turning to DIY abortion methods rather than going to a doctor.”

Texas’s latest law feels especially defiant considering its context. The Supreme Court struck down another of the state’s attempts to block access to abortion earlier this year—the 2013 law H.B.-2, which required clinics be certified as “ambulatory surgical centers” (basically, mini hospitals) and clinicians have admitting privileges at local hospitals. Texas lawmakers claimed it was an effort to protect women’s health; the high court found the law was unconstitutional for its creation of an “undue burden” on women’s federally protected right to abortion.

The hope then was that the ruling would discourage other states working on similarly restrictive laws; instead, it emboldened Texas. (Yes, everything’s bigger in Texas, including a vendetta against women’s rights). According to The New York Times, Abbott suggested the rule in July, a mere month after the Supreme Court’s 5-3 ruling. This is why it’s scary for women across the country when President-elect Donald Trump says, dismissively, that, under his Supreme Court Roe v. Wade would be overturned, the issue of abortion will simply “go back to the states”; states like Texas are proving they aren’t deterred even by Supreme Court rulings. Others states, including Arkansas, Louisiana, and Indiana, have similar “funeral for fetuses” laws in the works—Vice President-elect Mike Pence, for one, has supported Indiana’s efforts.

Disturbed? Enraged? Crying out to fight back? Keep donating to NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and other advocates for reproductive rights, and set up a recurring donation, if you’re able. This fight isn’t going away anytime soon.
