GOP lawmakers were orking on this proposal more than a month be- ore Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine rev ealed Friday how Planned Parenthood clinics in Ohio, including one in Mount Auburn, use edical-waste companies to dispose of fetal tis- ue. The clinics in Cincinnati and Columbus use Marietta-based Accu Medical Waste Services heat the fetal tissue in an autoclave to sanitize it efore disposing of the remains in a Kentucky landfill. The third Planned Parenthood clinic that per- orms abortions, located ear Cleveland, uses Illinois-based Stericycle for medical waste even though their contract prohibits removing aborted fetuses.

Thompson pleaded uilty in April to contempt of court for failing appear before a federal judge in 2012.

Part of his plea deal requires him to answer questions in closed-door sessions a bout the whereabouts of he gold coins. The first of those hearings was Oct. 19. A federal prosecutor chastised Thompson afterward, calling his answers evasive and concerning, and cheduled another hearing for Oct. 26.
