TL;DR Summary
An Ohio woman who suffered a miscarriage and left the nonviable fetus at home will not be criminally charged, as a grand jury decided there was insufficient evidence for an indictment against her. The woman, Brittany Watts, had been charged with felony abuse of a corpse after her miscarriage, but the grand jury's decision means the case is dismissed for now. The case has sparked debate about the treatment of women whose pregnancies end, especially in the context of recent changes in abortion laws.
