LETTERS, Page 6Drugs and Pregnancy
I was alarmed to learn there is a growing trend toward criminal
prosecution as a way to deal with the problem of pregnancy and drug
abuse (LAW, May 22). Why is it acceptable to spend tax dollars
putting these women in jail instead of setting up treatment
programs that could help them and their unborn children? Do people
supporting the criminal prosecution of pregnant women who abuse
drugs really think this action is somehow going to stop other
expectant mothers from using drugs?
