...I would be prime jail material.

The above scenario was pretty close to what I experienced in my first miscarriage back in 1997.

Miscarriage is about the most misunderstood trauma a woman can ever face. She suffers alone. No one truly understands what it is like to go through one, because there is no body to bury, no body for anyone else to mourn. It is a unique grief. You basically go through it all by yourself, even if you are blessed with family who try to understand. I did not have any of that, and I can imagine that I am not alone.

To compound that grief by things like this bill is unconscionable, inhumane, and ultimately unspeakable. Do we have no heart or soul in this country anymore???
