Tangential, but since Arizona passed a law recognizing personhood at conception, it would seem they'd be guilty of unlawful detainment of the fetus if they keep pregnant women as prisoners.
"Adding insult to injury, two of the women said they were receiving medical bills for the services provided during their labor"
It is horribly lacking, and that should be fixed, but trying to make sure her baby is delivered safely isn't really reducible to "reducing costs."
In both cases, part of the solution is to pay more / have better employees (that you get, in part, by paying more). That's why I argue it's "reducing costs". It's a banal and boring explanation; but, most evil is.
This is all political theater and it does nothing for actual life. Not to mention that 9 of the 10 worst states for maternal and fetal morbidity are red states enacting policies like this.
In states where personhood is established at birth, you can still be found guilty of murder if your actions result in the death of a unborn person outside the limited exemption of medical abortion.
