Oftentimes, these laws, as well as their enforcers, appear to be aimed at criminalizing people for the sake of criminalizing people, as opposed to doing what laws are supposedly meant to do, which is to protect the public. And like all things related to systemic criminalization, Black people are disproportionately vulnerable to being further victimized by these laws and those who prosecute them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Last month, 33-year-old Brittany Watts found out in a courtroom in Warren,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/newsone.com\/4788950\/ohio-election-black-voters-credited\/\">Ohio<\/a>, that a case in which she\u2019s charged with abuse of a corpse will go to a grand jury. The \u201ccorpse\u201d in question was a non-viable fetus that she allegedly tried to flush and then plunge out of a toilet after she miscarried at 22 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is heartbreaking. A woman in Warren, Ohio, has been charged with abuse of a corpse for trying to plunge a toilet after having a miscarriage at 22 weeks while using the restroom. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uYe6DZQULg\">pic.twitter.com\/uYe6DZQULg<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ben Crump (@AttorneyCrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AttorneyCrump\/status\/1730746601734373434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">From&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wkbn.com\/news\/local-news\/warren-news\/trumbull-county-grand-jury-to-hear-abuse-of-corpse-case\/?fbclid=IwAR3_l8VKGNFyU0SngrZL86Edo88zEiyFHDD-FIL0pg0w0CuAHHmBqSTlw6o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WKBN 27<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"\">Investigators said they found a baby stuck in a toilet at Watts\u2019 home on Sept. 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cShe said she felt the baby come out and there was a big splash,\u201d said Det. Nick Carney, with the Warren Police Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Forensic pathologist Dr. George Sterbenz testified an autopsy found no injury to the fetus, and that the unborn fetus had died before passing through the birth canal. He said Watts\u2019 medical records showed she visited the hospital twice before the delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThis fetus was going to be non-viable. It was going to be non-viable because she had premature ruptured membranes \u2014 her water had broken early \u2014 and the fetus was too young to be delivered,\u201d Sterbenz said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">So, setting aside the trauma experienced by expecting mothers who miscarry, and the fact that without common knowledge guidelines on how a miscarried fetus should be disposed of, no pregnant woman should be expected to know off-hand what to do in this tragic situation, the real question is this: Ultimately, who did Brittany Watts harm?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThe issue isn\u2019t how the child died, when the child died\u2014it\u2019s the fact that the baby was put into a toilet, large enough to clog up a toilet, left in that toilet and she went on [with] her day,\u201d said Warren assistance prosecutor Lewis Guarnieri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">First of all, how exactly would Guarnieri or anyone else know how Watts \u201cwent on with her day\u201d after suffering the trauma of passing a deceased fetus through her body? Apparently, this man who has never been pregnant, given birth or miscarried believes he knows more about the physical, mental and emotional toll experienced by those who have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Either that or he\u2019s just another brutishly dispassionate man who is using the law to control and\/or prosecute women\u2019s bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThis 33-year-old girl, with no criminal record, is demonized for something that goes on every day,\u201d Traci Timko, Watts\u2019 attorney, said in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But, again, let\u2019s say Guarnier\u2019s assessment of what Watts did was accurate. He in no way explained why what she did warrants criminal protection. Is he prosecuting Watts on behalf of the plumber who had to unclog the toilet? Who did she harm? How is she a danger the public needs protection from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Bootlickers and misogynists alike will argue \u201cthe law is the law,\u201d but they won\u2019t likely be able to explain who the law serves in this case by punishing a woman who has been through enough. If there was ever a reason to use prosecutorial discretion, it\u2019s this case and others like it\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.glamourmagazine.co.uk\/article\/pregnancy-loss-flushing?fbclid=IwAR2KQbmig-0W5pnlEAKn_6QpBPmlASaqajRRWZjVKmgsyL8bmTtb3wvmpOM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">of which there are many<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I also had a miscarriage on the toilet and flushed it many years ago and I am sure many women have had the same thing happen to them.
