Good. I'm glad they got them shut down for something.

TFA: A subsequent investigation by state and local officials determined that the disposal of aborted remains as ordinary waste was not illegal

Yuck. Should that be disposed of like other medical waste? Isn't there a procedure for this beyond just tossing it in the trash? I mean, I know "garbage man" isn't the most pleasant job in the world, but picking up surgical waste has got to be above and beyond the normal nasty crap they have to deal with.

Liberals love to kill babies. Not only that, they demand that their tax paying neighbors pay the bill for it. If you say something about it it is not because you are against killing, it is because you hate women.

The clinics came to the attention of authorities in 2010 when an activist with the group Citizens for a Pro-life Society discovered what he said were the remains of 17 aborted fetuses in a trash bin behind the clinic.

This story... Makes me think there's a lot more going on. Look, almost all biomedical waste is just that - you ABSOFARKINGLUTELY cannot throw it in the trash bin behind the building!

On the other hand... Just how big - exactly - are aborted fetii in the first trimester? How did an avowedly pro-lifer dumpster dive and find aborted fetii and not the remains of yesterday's thai lunch?

Wiki did not state what Mr. Schuette's views on abortion are, but I think I can take a wild guess and say he's not a staunch defender of abortion rights. So... I'm actually going to call bullshiat on this whole story. Too little information from sources I cannot in any way trust.

Well, the article was lying about requirements to dispose of human tissue as medical waste. Link

I wonder what else it was lying about. Maybe the existence of said waste human tissue to begin with?

I don't see how that can possibly be true. There are strict laws covering disposal of any human waste . . . . you would think disease would still be a concern.

Why is this ironic? If a clinic is discarding of biological waste in the dumpster, one would expect the rest of their procedures -- such as the handling of medical records -- would also be more likely to be improper.

If that were true, then disposal of maxi pads and tampons would require permits and special dumpsters.

Women abort non-implanted and unfertilized cells every month. But don't tell Republicans this.

And millions of babies are starving in Africa. You could probably save hundreds of them if you sold your stuff and donated your paychecks, but you won't do that. Instead you'll biatch about what other people do, while the babies you could have saved slowly starve to death.

Don't try to pretend that God can't see you doing this.

That's a little hard to believe. My kid had a tooth pulled, and the tooth was treated as "medical waste". She couldn't even bring it home to put under her pillow.

Then again, regulations vary by state. Or maybe my dentist is just a little over-the-top with the whole medical waste thing. But still, hard to believe that's not illegal.

OMG, I can just see this guy pawing through the dumpster, pulling out blood and disgusting stuff, weeping, then trying to sort it into individual "babies."

There is a biomedical waste disposal place in my town. I used to work next door to it. When you heard that long 'pppffffttttttt' of the place being vented, and the wind was coming our direction, you did not want to be outside. I couldn't even describe the smell, but nobody had to tell me what they were burning up over there.

the regulations posted earlier state that teeth can be disposed of as normal waste in MI. I didn't see anything about other human tissue being lawfully dumped as ordinary garbage though

I had my thyroid removed and I didn't even get a picture of it. :(

Mind you, the surgeon said he had to fillet that sucker, so... Erm. Maybe I'm better off without the picture, come to think of it...

This, not so much. I'm obviously okay with certain procedures (duh), but lets not make it hard for people to support them, eh? No unpleasant smells. No goop in the dumpster. If you're going to go to the wall on a controversial issue like abortion, why not really drive it home by being as professional and kind as possible? That includes to your neighbors! :\

When I got my wisdom teeth removed as an adult, the dentist gave them to me to take home.

I wonder what I did with them. {smacks forehead} Duh! Tooth Fairy.

Actually, you can. Wanna know where medical waste from a hospital goes? Into either the incinerator or the landfill (after it has been processed of course). The reason a hospital doesn't throw it in the straight into the dumpster is because they usually don't have waste processing facilities on-site (it's easier to have it all done at a centralized location than installing the necessary equipment at several spread out locations. Also, that way people who dumpster dive don't get horrified when they discover diabetic Grandma's amputated toes). Things that can be incinerated are; things that can't instead get crushed/compacted and then throw in the trash.

It is entirely possible, even if unlikely, that this clinic was processing medical waste on-site and then disposing of it in the dumpster out back. And, like you said, there isn't a whole lot of info in the linked article concerning the alleged "fetuses in the trash" to make any sort of judgment was to what was going on.

But that won't stop the derpers from ragin'.

At least two of them specifically identify human tissue, blood, and surgical waste. Heck, even poop and pee is a biolhazard and requires the same treatment if not deposited in the 'usual fashion'. The fact that the writer is claiming it as not illegal throws doubt on the entire claim.

Yeah, but I live in Florida. So YMMV (and hence my comment about state-by-state regs). It was just an example of something that seems a whole lot less medical-waste-ish than the remains of aborted fetuses, and yet was treated as medical waste.
