Have miscarriage in VA? Go directly to jail; do not pass go.

I found links on Chez Miscarriage and This Woman’s Work about a proposed bill in Virginia that would make it a misdemeanor to fail to report miscarriages to the police within 12 hours of the miscarriage.

Women would be required to report their age, education, marital status, and prenatal medical history.

It’s somewhat hard to imagine a more horrific invasion of privacy than this.

Good God.
