Utah's anti-abortion bill, the one with the ambiguous wording that could make all miscarriage murder, is being revised to take out the possibility of women being prosecuted for unintended miscarriages. Although the latest version of the bill hasn't been completed, it's still going to say that miscarriage is murder, if it's induced or "deliberate."

State Representative Wimmer intends to remove language that makes any "reckless acts" by women that induce miscarriage eligible for homicide prosecution

So it's not just ANY reckless acts, but since the entire point of the bill is to criminalize miscarriage, I don't really see how it changes anything, because whether or not the miscarriage was unintentional is ultimately up to the court.

Now, one question remains: if a lawmaker miscarries justice, can he be charged with homicide?
