Federal judge promises a narrowly focused trial over requirements for burial of fetal remains

“We’re not going to decide here…at what point in time a fetus is viable or life exists or any of that…..it isn’t before us in this case.”

Senior U.S. District Judge David Ezra beat back criticism of his handling of discovery in the so-called “fetal remains trial” this morning, while insisting the parameters of his judgment be as narrow and possible and not tackle the settled law of Roe v Wade.

Ezra was clear today about what he did and did not want to consider in a week-long trial on part of Senate Bill 8, the state’s new requirement to bury the fetal remains from abortion procedures: at which point life begins and whether a clinic should or should not be performing abortions.
