What do abortion clinics do with the dead babies?

If you've ever given birth and had a miscarriage you know that a full term living baby is nothing like an abortive/miscarriage stage fetus. As a single mother of long adult children, I absolutely do not sit in judgment of women who choose abortion (it's a REALLY heart breaking and societally punishing, life changing, experience), so whatever the clinics do with the heart break of women is really a moot point.

Hospitals usually have arrangements with local cremartoriams for the disposal of the tissue from an abortion. I think this acknowledges both that it's not just "medical waste" and that it's not a fully formed human. I've seen the 'product' of a typical abortion, and it's in no way recognisable as a "dead baby" as the question suggests. {Edit: this might just be the case in the UK or in the abortion ward I visited when the women's zine I edit did an issue on reproductive rights; I have no idea about American abortion clinics)

Abortion clinics are not hospitals. One would hope that they disposed of the abortion product in medical waste, which is eventually incinerated. At hospitals with whose procedure I am familiar, there is no contract with a crematorium. Instead, the babies, including stillbirths, are accumulated on a tray in the morgue cooler until there are enough to shovel into the hospital incinerator. There is nothing at all dignified about this procedure.

Seriously different clinics do different things but it is used by the beauty manufactors. It is not broadly none but yes its bought by cosmetic companies for research. Gross as it is. I gave birth to a baby girl at 20 weeks. I know that she was autopsied then put in the medical waste at the hospital. HORRIBLE THOUGHT! But I asked where she would go and they told me the truth. I could have opted for no autopsy and had her body buried but I needed to know why it happened.
