These bills, as written for other states, are purposely worded so that early term abortions and miscarriages are included. Some even have specific wording to provider for investigations into miscarriages to determine if they were caused by the mother in some way (lifestyle, herbal abortions, etc.)
What's even scarier is that the wording of these bills has been developed by an exceptionally fringe, right wing religious group whose goals include criminalizing abortion and outlawing non-barrier birth control methods.
