Causing miscarriage: offence with stronger penalties when foetus is quick; exception for good faith acts to save woman's life. Causing miscarriage is an offence punishable by imprisonment, fine, or both when a person voluntarily causes a woman with child to miscarry, subject to an exception for acts done in good faith to save the woman's life. The statute prescribes a higher penalty where the woman is quick with child and expressly includes a woman who causes her own miscarriage within the offence.
