Actually, when the child is a blood relative, it falls into a whole new class of criminal act, which also forbids marriage to a blood relative. That's the reason for the exception in that particular law.

As for the topic at hand... I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. I have, to this day, not "reported" it to anyone. I include it in my medical history by simply saying that I have had two interrupted pregnancies. My miscarriage happened in my home. Sorry if this seems harsh, but I flushed the detritus from the miscarriage (bloody tissue... if there was a fetus in there, I didn't see it) down the toilet just like I do menstrual discharge.

It was nobody's business but mine, and still isn't. If I choose to share it, it's my business.

The only reason I can see behind such a law is to track women who have had interrupted pregnancies, in preparation to begin to require that women who have had abortions report those procedures as well, which as of now are protected by law as confidential.

The only way to keep things like this from happening isn't by moving away, its by fighting each and every attempt to take a liberty away. Stand up and be heard. They do these things because they can, because the majority of Americans don't take an interest in the workings of the government and don't notice the slow, steady process by which our liberties are being stripped from us.
