The following are state regulations governing the disposal of fetal remains. As you can see, most states mandate that aborted babies either be buried or incinerated. Since abortion mills will not purchase cemetary plots to bury the children that they murder (because then they would have to admit that it was a person), many hire medical waste companies like Stericycle to dispose of the fetal remains according to state law — that is, to have them incinerated.  

 

California: “Pathology waste: medical wastes which are either recognizable anatomical parts, or which are human tissue specimens containing residual fixative. Pathology waste must be treated by incineration. See Sections 118220 and 118222 of the Medical Waste Management Act.” (From “Self Assessment Manual for Proper Management of Medical Waste”, page 64)

“Biohazardous waste, which are recognizable human anatomical parts … when placed in a secondary container for treatment as pathology waste, that container shall be labeled with the words ‘Pathology Waste,’ ‘PATH,’ or other label approved by the department on the lid and on the sides …” 118227 (F) of California’s Medical Waste Management Act

Treatment shall occur within 30 days of collection from the generator.”)
