Have a miscarriage? Go to jail.

It was Katha Pollitt who observed that even where these laws are in force, miscarriage due to spousal battery never results in the man being charged with a crime.

Such cases are not infrequent. A pregnant woman is at higher risk for battery.

So it's not about the foetus. It's about stripping women of civil rights.
