The rally was led by NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, a group that advocates reproductive rights including abortion, which handed over to the department a petition to block the new rules. The petition was signed by more than 5,000 people.

In July, the health commission added abortion regulations that require facilities that provide abortion services to facilitate the burial or cremation of aborted babies. The rules apply to all aborted fetuses regardless of gestation stage.

The regulations were proposed after the high court struck down Texas' restrictive laws on abortion clinics.

Blake Rocap, legislative counsel for NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, claimed the state is attempting to deny access to abortion.

"The rules target physicians that provide abortions and the hospitals that care for patients for no reason other than to make it harder to get a safe, legal abortion in Texas," Rocap said, according to the Dallas News. "It's so transparent that what they're really trying to do is denying access to abortion."

At present, aborted fetal tissue and other fetal parts are disposed of as waste. They are sometimes incinerated or ground before being dumped in a sanitary landfill.

Health commission spokesman Bryan Black said the new regulations are meant to keep the "human dignity" of aborted fetuses.
