I'm surprised that anyone could think this is a good idea. I had a friend who had a miscarriage and she was somewhat sick for a couple days. The miscarriage was a result of some other health problems. To require a woman who could potentially be ailing to put herself for such a stressful event AFTER already ungoing such emotional and physical upset is barbaric. I would probably not report it. Especially if I hadn't told anyone else. I never told anyone else when I first got pregnant until I was already a month along and then it was only my husband. Later, when I was 3 months along I told my family and friends. No one could have even guessed it let alone the government. What kind of violation of privacy could this entail if someone else were to falsely "tip" off the police. Would they try to invade you're home to investigate the violation? This isn't something you can control so well. Some women can even have a "miscarriage" and not even know. They may think it's only a large blood clot as they start a "period" and beyond that they are clueless. Granted once the fetus is farther along in the gestational period it would be more recognizable but usually by then the woman is aware of things and seeing a gyno about the pregnancy. Asking a physician to report miscarriages using only numbers instead of names is fine in my eyes. At that point the CDC can keep track of certain trends that may encourage miscarriage and help other women prevent a miscarriage. But this - it's invasive, unnecessary, and downright mean to the woman who goes through such an experience.
