What do you do? Good people were put in a situation they were terribly ill-equiped to handle and are now made out to be some horrible "woman controlling" individuals when they were simply trying to do the right thing and because of lack of laws they ended up nearly failing completely.
Maybe we should be asking the politicians to create laws that allow Addicts to be legally involuntary committed ESPECIALLY pregnant ones so that they can get the help they need.
So instead you force pregnant women into dirty, nasty, jail cells. They are provided with a diet not designed to provide enough calories for a developing fetus. They receive no or limited prenatal care. And they are left to labor for days and deliver in a dirty bathroom.
It’s no different than a puppy mill.
