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.
I think we do still disagree if you’re still insisting she should have been forced tk have an abortion. It was her choice. The fuck don’t you people understand about that?
And comparing a woman’s choice to have an abortion vs getting a vaccine is an incredibly flawed argument. Babies aren’t contagious. And no, I’d never hold someone down and force a vaccine. You seem to think someone should have forced this woman to terminate the baby.
You are still vilifying her for making her own personal choice. Shame on you. Doesn’t matter if it was against medical advice or not.
