Ohio woman who miscarried on home toilet is not criminally liable, grand jury says

A grand jury decided not to charge Brittany Watts, an Ohio woman, for abuse of a corpse in relation to her handling of a home miscarriage.
Watts had visited a Catholic hospital twice before her miscarriage, where her doctor advised her to induce labor due to a nonviable fetus. However, she left without treatment and later miscarried at home.
The case gained national attention, as it raises questions about reproductive health care access. The Trumbull County prosecutor's office stated that no indictment would be returned, resolving the case.
