That is not what that law did, although there are a lot of memes like this that have been making Pence out to be a boogeyman that he is not. http://www.snopes.

- jakelazaroff 10y ago"Mostly false" is misleading; the only way in which the law differs from my summary is that women are not required to hold the funerary rites themselves: > The law, which was passed by the Republican-heavy state legislature, does require that aborted or miscarried fetuses be buried or cremated. It also requires that women involved in these cases be given the chance to decide how this is carried out. > However, it did not require the women involved to be present during — or to pay for — the disposal of the material. Instead, that fell to the facility in which the miscarriage or abortion took place: It's also worth noting that the law was struck down by a judge before it could take effect, lest anyone think this law was a reasonable or even legal.
