Exhausted, you finally fall asleep in your partner’s arms around 4 AM. You sleep until noon, and then gird yourself 2005 for the difficult call to your parents, who were so eagerly anticipating their first grandchild. Guess 2005 what? You just earned yourself up to 12 months in jail and a 2005 $2,500 fine. Why? Because you failed to call the cops and report your miscarriage within 12 hours. True? Not yet. But if Delegate John Cosgrove (R-78) has his way, HB1677 will become law in a few short months, and this scenario will be reality for many women in Virginia. Incredulous? Outraged? Read on below the jump for more information on this odious bill. HB1677, “Report of Fetal Death by mother, penalty” It sounds preposterous to talk about criminalizing women who suffer miscarriages, but one Virginia legislator is proposing just that.
