"Reproductive Rights Group Calls for Dropping Criminal Charge Against Miscarriage Victim in Ohio"

Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights is urging a prosecutor to drop criminal charges against Brittany Watts, a woman who miscarried at home. The charges conflict with Ohio's newly passed reproductive rights amendment, which guarantees an individual's right to make their own reproductive decisions. Watts' case has sparked national attention and raised concerns about the treatment of pregnant women, particularly those who are Black, in post-Roe America. Supporters have donated over $135,000 for her legal defense. The physicians' group fears that the case will discourage other women from seeking miscarriage care and is calling for the charges to be dropped.
