An Ohio woman who had sought treatment at a hospital before suffering a miscarriage and passing her nonviable fetus in her bathroom now faces a criminal charge, her attorney told CNN.
Brittany Watts, 33, of Warren, has been charged with felony abuse of a corpse, Trumbull County court records show.
“Ms. Watts suffered a tragic and dangerous miscarriage that jeopardized her own life. Rather than focusing on healing physically and emotionally, she was arrested and charged with a felony,” her attorney, Traci Timko, told CNN in an email.

Though a coroner’s office report said the fetus was not viable and had died in the womb, Watts’ case highlights the extent to which prosecutors can charge a woman whose pregnancy has ended – whether by abortion or miscarriage.
Every woman in Ohio should call the coroner to report their monthly discharge, just in case
No! That’s what they want!
Every person in Ohio should recognize that when the rule of law is corrupted and broken, then [logical corrilary omitted bc it violated group rules].
We did, and we amended our constitution to protect women’s reproductive health in general and right to abortions in specific
Apparently you didn’t do it well it enough.
This event
A) is from before the vote
B) is not about abortion, but about prosecutorial overreach
…it justifies overthrowing the government and instituting a new one, and the people have the moral responsibility to do it.
There. FTFY
Mail it to them for autopsy just in case
No, everyone in Ohio should rise the fuck up and stop this stupidity.
