Demagogue

At least if Virginia Del. John Cosgrove has his way. There are always a lot of loony bills kicking around state legislatures around this time of year. But his is above avarage in the dastardly department. The text:

When a fetal death occurs without medical attendance, it shall be the woman's responsibility to report the death to the law-enforcement agency in the jurisdiction of which the delivery occurs within 12 hours after the delivery. A violation of this section shall be punishable as a Class 1 misdemeanor.

Yep. A woman who has had a miscarriage would be required to call the cops and tell them about it within 12 hours or face a year in jail and a big old fine. Democracy for America reports extensively on it here. They call it, "The Most Odious Infringement on the Privacy of Virginia women...ever." Probably a close contest, but this is pretty bad.
