Victory! Utah Bill to Punish Miscarriage Withdrawn!

March 05, 2010

Utah representative Carl Wimmer withdrew the bill he had sponsored to punish women who lose their pregnancies. The New York Times coverage sites a "firestorm of anxiety and criticism from abortion rights and women’s advocacy groups" and links back to a previous article quoting NAPW's Executive Director who speaks to the point that pregnant women need empathy and support, not punitive laws.
