Fetal death bill killed in House

The House has voted 32-31 against HB 214, a measure from Rep. Judy Boyle, 
R-Midvale, to issue official state certificates of “fetal death” to women 
who have early miscarriages or abortions. The measure was opposed by the 
state’s bureau of vital statistics, which said it issues official 
certificates only for verified, reportable data. The bill would have made 
the certificates both voluntary and non-public, though they’d be issued by 
the state’s official bureau. Boyle said it was intended to help people 
cope with their grief.
