Miscarriage

A grand jury returned a no bill decision on charges against Brittany Watts, a Warren woman charged with abuse of a corpse after suffering a miscarriage.

The case against Brittany Watts of Warren has attracted attention beyond Ohio, but the doctors say charges related to her reported miscarriage should be dismissed.

Ohio was in the throes of a bitter debate over abortion rights this fall when Brittany Watts, 21 weeks and 5 days pregnant, began passing thick blood clots.

Issue 1, the amendment that would enshrine abortion into the Ohio Constitution, contains other reproductive rights that backers of the proposal say are necessary to protect Ohiaons.

The complaint addresses a possible misunderstanding about the abortion ban while the Ohio Senate's leader says it's time to revisit the language of the abortion law that's been on hold by a court for a month now.
