Back in the United States, a Utah lawmaker has withdrawn a sweeping anti-abortion measure that would allow women to be charged with murder if they commit “an intentional, knowing or reckless act” that causes a miscarriage. Critics have feared the measure could target women for all kinds of actions, including staying with an abusive partner. On Thursday, the bill’s Republican sponsor, State Representative Carl Wimmer, said he would revise the measure to omit the clause making a “reckless” act punishable by law. But Wimmer says the new measure will retain the provision outlawing “intentional” actions.
