How should laws against abortion work? How do you prevent collateral damage

Example 1: If a woman has a miscarriage, should she have to prove that she didn't induce the abortion? 

Example 2: A woman's pregnancy is likely to either kill her or leave her with serious physical damage if she carries the pregnancy to term, should we wait until we are sure she will die if she continues the pregnancy before ending the pregnancy? 

Example 3: If there is a rape exception, what kind of evidence should be needed that there has been a rape? 

I am not implying that these problems can't be resolved, or even that laws in restrictive states don't cover them.

Civil society understands the difference between choosing and an accident. Pro choice is a choice.

Could be true in general, but how do you deal with the specific cases I mentioned?

#1 No,

#2 By the grace of God, we never had to decide. I would choose my wife.

#3 A horrible situation. Day one report the monster that did that to a woman.
