A law in Utah criminalize miscarriages, making it a felony homicide. That means a woman could conceivably be put in prison for life because she has a miscarriage.
Now I understand the intentions behind the bill... It seems rather irresponsible to purposely bring about a miscarriage. But this seems to criminalize spontaneous miscarriages that 1 out 4 pregnancies naturally result in without being irresponsible. There has to be a better way to word this bill to exclude normal miscarriages, and include the irresponsible ones.
