Oh Crap! TRUMPs America-Traumatized Women Now Prosecuted For MISCARRIAGES at Record Levels

TRUMPs America -Traumatized Women Now Prosecuted For MISCARRIAGES at Record Levels

The day before Brittany Watts miscarried at home in Warren, Ohio, medical staff at Mercy Health-St. Joseph Warren Hospital told Watts that her nearly 21-week-old fetus had no chance of survival.


MSRAW 25 JUN 2025




Anti abortion and abortion rights protestors demonstrate on the anniversary of the decision by the United States Supreme to overturn Roe v. Wade, outside the U.S. Supreme Court



On that, Watts? attorneys and those representing the hospital she is now suing agree.

But Watts still ended up in jail two years ago, after leaving the hospital due to care delays and then returning in need of medical care but without a fetus.


While St. Joseph medical staff were treating Watts, a nurse was on the phone with police, speculating that Watts had birthed and then killed a live baby, according to a federal lawsuit filed earlier this year.


The suit claims the hospital and individual staff were negligent and lied to police, and that police allegedly violated her civil rights.


Rachel Brady, an attorney and partner at Chicago law firm Loevy, said that though the charges in Watts? case abuse of a corpse, after she had flushed the remains were ultimately dropped, she has suffered lasting harms.

After inadvertently becoming the public face of pregnancy criminalization in the post Roe v. Wade era, she is among the first since the Dobbs decision to seek legal recourse for alleged civil rights violations.

She found herself the unwilling face of this movement, and she has been traumatized by the entire event Brady said of Watts, who declined an interview. This is every expectant mothers worst nightmare. And rather than being able to grieve her loss, she was taken away in handcuffs.


She was interrogated in her hospital bed while she was still tethered to IVs, and so she wants compensation for her own trauma, but most importantly, wants to make sure that this doesnt happen to anyone else
