- Title
Human or Person? On the Burial of Aborted Children.
- Authors
Menno, Justin
- Abstract
The article focuses on a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on July 30, 2016, blocking HEA 1337, a legislation ensuring the dignified disposition of aborted children. Topics discussed include Pratt's major objections to this law, her use of the category of personhood to exclude fetal remains from the class of human remains, and Thomas Aquinas's commentary on the significance of Jesus Christ's burial.
