They are big on blame and short on help. The reality is that the prison business is huge in the U.S.. I think they sold this to the public as wanting to help unborn children, but really they just want more reasons to arrest people.Yes, after reading your article, it is MOST concerning to me. I'm thinking that the new law is intended to give the police more authority to address the illegal drug use by pregnant women and encourage the women to enter treatment programs to avoid jail completely. The shortage of centres and travel distance for the women to access centres, shows the authorities didn't put a lot into the planning sadly.
