At least one county prosecutor in WV is, in fact, discussing investigating routine miscarriages: https://www.wvnstv.com/news/local-news/prosecutor-warns-of-p...

From the article:

> State law does not require a woman to notify authorities when she miscarries, but Truman said that women who miscarry in West Virginia can protect themselves against potential criminal charges by reporting the miscarriage to local law enforcement. > > “Call your doctor. Call law enforcement, or 911, and just say, ‘I miscarried. I want you to know,'” advised Truman.

Now, in fairness, the state's association of prosecutors has clarified that this is not official policy and that the association as a whole does not support it. But it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility.
