Utah Bill Criminalizes Miscarriage
Utah Bill Criminalizes Miscarriage
By Rachel Larris, RH Reality Check
A bill passed by the Utah House and Senate this week and waiting for the governor’s signature, will make it a crime for a woman to have a miscarriage, and make induced abortion a crime in some instances.
The bill passed by legislators amends Utah’s criminal statute to allow the state to charge a woman with criminal homicide for inducing a miscarriage or obtaining an illegal abortion.
