So there are some weird parts to this one. First of all, she could legally get an abortion, and when she went to the doctor initially for PROM and oligohydramnios (water broke at 21 weeks, and there was little/no amniotic fluid), the doctor recommended an abortion. She left AMA. Then came back, again an abortion was recommended, and she was told the fetus wasn't viable, and again she left AMA. She ended up delivering in a toilet, then collected blood / clots and tissue in a bucket that she left by the garage outside, but left the fetus in the toilet.
I'm not going to judge what a woman does after a miscarriage, and I'm not going to pretend to know what it feels like to be told your fetus isn't viable and an abortion would be best. But this sounds like a much more complex case than the title makes it out to be, in fact it seems like it has next to nothing to do with abortion restrictions, which I'm a huge proponent against, as every woman should have autonomy over her body.
Seems like her mental state wasn't the best throughout her whole ordeal.
Regardless, the important thing here is that they are charging her with mutilation of a corpse when there's no guidelines in OH for how to handle fetal remains.
How is anyone supposed to know what to do in that situation, even if they are more clearheaded?
