💨 Abstract

In West Virginia, women who miscarry may face investigations under new anti-abortion laws. Attorney Tom Truman warns that women could be prosecuted if they dispose of miscarriage evidence, depending on their actions and intent. The state's abortion ban, in effect since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, allows exceptions for rape, incest, fatal abnormalities, and maternal life risk. Prosecutors may use laws on human remains disposal to press charges.
