LOS ANGELES -- There will be no prosecutions in the case of nearly 17,000 fetuses and embryos found in a repossessed shipping container last year because of recent court rulings striking down California's previous abortion laws, officials said Friday.

District Attorney Robert Philibosian said he will press for 'a dignified and legal burial’. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1983/08/19/DA-says-no-prosecutions-in-case-of-17000-fetuses/6090430113600/

The 16,431 fetuses and embryos -- including 193 fetuses believed to be beyond the 20th week of development -- were discovered on Feb. 5, 1982. The remains, preserved in formaldehyde-filled jars and tagged with the mothers' names, apparently were sent by hospitals in California and other states to a now-defunct medical lab in Santa Monica, Calif., for tests.

Religious and other anti-abortion groups sought permission to hold funeral services for the fetuses to underscore their argument that abortion is wrong, because fetuses are human.

The Southern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union brought a court challenge on behalf of the Feminist Women’s Health Center, demanding that the fetuses be incinerated, on the grounds that they were unwanted biological tissue, not humans.

The ACLU argued that it was wrong for the county to help set up burial services, because it would lend government support to anti-abortion groups, violating the separation of church and state. The county argued that it would have nothing to do with any services and that burial itself was not a religious symbol.

In a ruling last month, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert O’Brien held that the county could authorize a burial, as long as there was no religious ceremony.

County officials have assured the ACLU that any identifying marks on canisters containing the fetuses have been destroyed. ACLU attorneys said they will attempt to verify that claim. If it is correct, they said, they will have no objection to plans for a secular burial.
