"If you cut off my reproductive rights, can I cut off yours?"

"If you cut off my reproductive rights, can I cut off yours?"

Commenter, NY Times
As Andrew Rosenthal notes at the NY Times, half of all fertilized eggs fail to implant.
It’s hard to imagine personhooders claiming that a woman whose body fails to implant a fertilized egg is a criminal. But their nutty amendment does seem to rule out abortion under all circumstances, including rape or incest, or in the case of an ectopic pregnancy that could kill the pregnant woman, along of course, with the implanted egg.
If a nonresident woman travels to Mississippi and has a miscarriage there, would she be liable?
