why would a woman have to have "something to hide" to be against reporting this? i'm an adult and if i were pregnant it would be noone's business but mine and the people i chose to share it with.
and sorry, but you couldn't get someone else to make this call for you. did you read all that you have to report? maybe a husband could make the call--but not in every case. how many husbands know their wives medical history in detail? he may have a big picture, but does he know the dates of her last period? does he know how many dr visits she's had? does he know about all previous pregnancies and the history of those? i can't think of a single person besides myself, (including my ex husband) who would have all the info they want reported.
and what if the woman hasn't told anyone she's pregnant? it's not uncommon for a woman who's not trying to get pregnant to hold off telling her partner about it. so my dr doesn't know, my partner doesn't know, none of my friends and family know--but i have to share this info with the gov? thanks but no thanks.
i agree with another poster, the only benefit to this law that i can see is that it helps to establish that a miscarriage is the death of a person at any age of gestation. that correlates with getting roe v wade overturned.
while i understand that different people have different views on abortion--we are not just talking about someone who decides they don't want to have a baby. reporting a miscarriage within 12 hours is asking a lot of a woman who's suffered enough imo.
