"Utah is poised to become the first state in the U.S. to criminalize miscarriage and punish women for having or seeking an illegal abortion. Utah’s “Criminal Miscarriage” law: * expands the definition of illegal abortion to include some miscarriages * removes immunity protections for women who have or seek illegal abortions * treats women as presumptive criminals and leaves them open to criminal prosecution But even among states that punish illegal abortions, this “Criminal Miscarriage” law is unique. It not only punishes individuals who perform illegal procedures; it punishes women."
