- 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?
