TL;DR Summary

A grand jury in Ohio decided not to indict Brittany Watts, a woman who miscarried at home and was charged with "abuse of a corpse," a case that had raised concerns among reproductive rights groups and legal experts. Watts, who had pleaded not guilty, faced up to a year in prison if convicted. The case has been dropped following the grand jury's decision. The incident occurred before Ohio voters passed an amendment to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution, ending an earlier effort by Republican lawmakers to enforce a near-total abortion ban after six weeks.
