Women In Georgia Could Be Criminally Charged For Miscarriages

Pro abortion activists are in outrage because anti abortion lawmakers propose a law that would criminalize miscarriages. Miscarriages in Georgia, according to newrepublic.com "Among women who know they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is about 15 percent to 20 percent."Its often hard to find out the cause of miscarriage, so this could be a reason that lawmakers are this situation into question. I do not believe the government should punish women for miscarriages because criminal activity is not always the case when babies are lost through the pregnancy process. With the anti abortion lawmakers not being able to determine this, they plan to take advantage of this unknown factor and eliminate it all by the miscarriage penalty. The law is not applicable because this is a natural process that happens due to the women's body condition through her pregnancy. Georgia's citizens should not have to face penalty after already suffering the loss of a child. I think that if they do acquire a penalty that they would have to research every situation individually to determine each cases miscarriage causes.
