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.
Too bad medical science can’t invent a killer virus that takes out right wing fundamentalists with pinpoint accuracy.
They did a decent job on their own thinning their numbers with Covid.
Isn’t advocating for genocide a bit much?
Edit: apparently not. That’s really disappointing.
The day they stop trying to shove their own personal religious choices down everyone else’s throat and criminalizing what should be a woman’s own bodily autonomy is the day I stop feeling this way.
So you think the punishment for being even remotely associated with the politicians doing that should carry the punishment of a slow and painful death? A lot of fundies don’t even fucking vote. I think we need protections against their craziness enshrined in law and anyone directly interfering with someone else’s autonomy should be arrested, but mass murder is fucking insane and you know it.
They’re trying to genocide black and lgbt+ people and oppress women.
So, no, it isn’t a bit much.
You mean the politicians and those who knowingly support them. Killing every fundie means killing a lot of religious people who don’t pay attention to politics and vote R because their parents vote R and their grandparents vote R. It also includes the people who don’t even fucking vote! You people are psychopaths.
I seem to have misplaced my violin as it’s so tiny.
But to quote their ridiculous ancient book of nonsense, you reap what you sow.
Why did you try to list people who aren’t right wing fundamentalists?
You’re making a strawman so you can be outraged.
Go back to fox news grandpa, your need for rage has you fapping at strangers on lemmy.
I’m probably younger than you and I voted green party in 2020, but sure, whatever makes you feel better about liking mass murder.
