I’m a foster parent so yes, I can imagine it. But more relevantly - we are talking about prescription drugs that a doctor did not take the mother off. If there are risks, the prescribing medical professional is perfectly well set up to know about them. CPS doesn’t need to be involved.
- lazyasciiart 2y agoIf people thought this desperately needed to be reported somehow, it should be a report to the medical licensing board - the prescriber is the one who made the decision that she should take it, and it’s their medical decision making being questioned. Of course that would probably lead to doctors refusing to prescribe anything to pregnant women.
- falcolas 2y agoI'm not disagreeing with what you're saying here, but "many people really really want to criminalize using drugs while pregnant" is a much broader statement than a pregnant woman taking prescribed medications. That is what I was referring to.
