individual sovereignty
medical privacy

Sovereignty doesn't justify murder. She (in MOST cases) decided to engage in activities and has thus assumed the burden.
does it matter to you if coercion was involved ?
do you suppose the law should account for that ?
or is it immaterial to your case ?
If she wasn't a willing participant then I believe that it would be just for the baby to be given to another (and there are plenty of folks who want a child) to care for if she doesn't want it.
are you in favor of investigating miscarriages as probable manslaughter slash murder cases ?
I've never been a fan of the concept of manslaughter really. Couple that with how common miscarriages are and seems unless it was super obvious that it was purposeful then no, it would be a waste of time and money. Plus, it would be cruel to subject the parents to such a fishing expedition during this time they are probably grieving their loss. Many parents who endure this loss are crushed, especially when it happens multiple times.
i agree 100%
but how do you expect to detect "purposeful" miscarriages ?
you know, what you might consider "murders" ?
It would have to be something that would suggest the possibility. Like the mother was making threats of such as an example. I believe that in most cases unless something was glaring as the threat example above it's best to just let it be. I've known several women in my life over the years who have had multiple miscarriages and they were just devastated (as well as in some cases the father).
It seems to me that it's not uncommon for some women to have them (multiple times), and not sure if it's something to do with their unique reproductive system, or perhaps a combination of not matching well biologically with the fathers attributes, perhaps a mix of both.
It occurs to me of course that because of my not wishing to go on witch hunts against grieving parents that obviously this would allow some more devious intelligent mothers to have abortions and call them miscarriages. A price I think any just society has to endure unless as I said there is some pretty compelling evidence of wrongdoing.
I'm not a fan of preemptive rules seeking to stop a handful of criminals at the expense of the majority who would be affected by such rules who never would have been a danger in regards to what the rules claim to try circumventing. That's a slippery slope to having no freedoms, just permissions.
while i agree with your moral impulse here,
it is difficult to say "abortion is murder" and then say "we won't investigate miscarriages"
shockingly,

it seems like pregnant women would be wise to avoid visiting a hospital
