The Ohio woman who was facing criminal charges after miscarrying in her bathroom will not be charged, a grand jury decided
The case sparked national attention for its implications for pregnant women as states across the country hash out new laws governing reproductive health care access.
The fact that it was ever considered possibly criminal is horrifying
Thank god.
In what sane world would this case ever have gone to a grand jury to begin with?
blink. blink. what? A woman was facing criminal charges for this? America, you need a reboot.
Next steps: 1. Oust the prosecutor. 2. Find that nurse & report her to Ohio Board of Nursing, demand she loses her license. 3. Report the hospital to feds for HIPAA violations, bad care. Remember, they kept sending the poor woman home. Bet they billed her, though.
"They're going to criminally investigate miscarriages" is one of those things I recall being told was hyperbolic when it was said after Dobbs.
Shouldn't even have happened. A miscarriage is out of one's control.
Wth America. Why is this even a thing. 😞😤🤯
fuck that prosecutor
Thank christ
