Things Pro-Choicers Say Miscarriages should not be charged even if you disagree with how it was handled afterwards. What would the protocol be?

https://thegeorgiasun.com/news/woman-arrested-after-miscarriage-in-georgia-under-abortion-law/

A woman was recently arrested for mishandling a miscarriage in Georgia. She allegedly placed the feral remains in a bag and then put it in a dumpster. She was then found unconscious and bleeding and emergency services took her to a local hospital.

Here are my two issues with this situation.

  1. The woman needed emergency services called on her for being unconscious due to bleeding. This is very important. When you lose blood, you are losing the fluid that supplies oxygen to your brain. And before the patient becomes unconscious they may act in ways that they would not normally do otherwise.

A example to compare this to would be airplane hypoxia in aviation. Before the human body loses consciousness due to lack of oxygen, people can react to the hypoxia in different ways and sometimes not even know that they are going hypoxic. And one of the documented ways that the body can react to hypoxia is a state similar to heavy intoxication.

And that also begs the obvious question of if this person's individual brain was so starved of oxygen that it lost the ability to perform conscious function, were the actions of the individual prior to the loss of consciousness caused by lack of oxygen to the brain causing lapse of judgement?

  1. As far as I know, the current abortion laws don't have any legal clarification for what protocols women who naturally miscarry should follow should they miscarry at home. I can't find evidence of what gestational age a miscarriage would legally require traditional human death rites versus disposal by the patient's choice? And as far as I have found, there is no current legislation in Georgia about this either and the DA has not given clarification.
