A grand jury is set to decide whether an Ohio woman who miscarried a nonviable fetus should face criminal consequences. Brittany Watts, who was reportedly turned into the police after her September miscarriage, has been charged with the fifth-degree felony abuse of a corpse in Trumbull County, Ohio.

Her case has been held up as evidence of how easily pregnant people can find themselves in law enforcement's crosshairs, especially since the overturning of Roe v Wade and amid tightening abortion restrictions in the U.S. If convicted, Watts could spend up to a year behind bars.
