I worked as a newspaper reporter for more than 30 years and could not think of misprint. To be fair, that's not the word I use for mistakes in the newspaper. I use "mistake" or "error." I think of misprint as referring to a typo.

I read it as "Not bring a fetus to HARM" and was very confused. Then I tried "miscarry" for the package one and it was accepted for the fetus one and I was even more confused. Then I read the definition again.
