Are Drug Tests Performed Routinely on Pregnant Woman?
Question by amykissinger: Are drug tests performed routinely on pregnant woman?
And if not, why? Wouldn’t this prevent woman from abusing drugs while pregnant? Or maybe it would prevent them from getting the prenatal care they need. Wouldn’t this cut down on drug addicted babies?
Anyone know?
Best answer:
Answer by Indiana Raven
Its not done here in indiana routinely. They will test a baby if drugs are suspected to be in the babies system. I think that women would avoid prenatal care if that were the case and it may increase abandoned babies.
If they were to test for drugs I think that a treatment program should be offered to the mother and not condeming her.

Fort Wayne, IN Non-Profit Poisoning Citizens For Profit – The citizens of Allen County, Indiana are forced to put the drug “Antabuse” in their system following a second DUI arrest without even being convicted of a crime. After conviction of the DUI a person could serve anywhere from 3 to 6 years on the AADP (Alcohol Abuse Deterrent Program) being forced fed a drug which attacks the liver much like alcohol does. Their forced sobriety is risking the health of every individual on the program. The courts continue to sentence people to AADP and AADP continues to poison and ignore its clients health problems. The only reason this facility is allowed to remain in business is because of the Indiana Code (IC 9-30-9-2) that was slipped through with minimal press in 1991 and driven by Judge Ryan of Allen County. We need to abolish or revise this Indiana Code to keep facilities like AADP from hurting people and their families whether it be medically or financially. Please sign this petition to abolish or revise Indiana Code (IC 9-30-9-2) and stop the shameless poisoining of thousands of Indiana citizens for profit. www.fightaadp.bravehost.com

I knew a woman who had a drug problem & she had to have a drug test performed on her every now & then (I’m not sure how often) but she still smoked weed every now & then throughout her pregnancy anyway & just quit when it came close time for her to be screened. Screwed up, huh?
they are in my city, and unfortunately i know girls who didnt go to the doc while they were pregnant because they werent going to pass a drug test. drug addicts are going to do what they want, they are selfish!!! hopefully drug addicted babies are taken away from mothers and given to loving parents
If there is any “suspicion” of drug use, a test can be done. Also, if there is ANY past history of admitted drug use, a random test can be done.
FUUUCK AADP YALL A NEVER PUT THAT POISON IN ME. I’LL GO TO JAIL FIRST AN DO MY TIME LIKE A? WARRIOR. yes they did kill a citizen, i know all about it. dont be surprised if the video is erased.
These fascists are killing us all, slowly, under the rhubric of? national security, jesus, and democracy. Is it mere coincedence that this drug is mandatory for 2nd time DUI offenders ONLY in FORT WAYNE, IN, A.K.A.” bible-belt america”. Alcohol sales are prohibited on sundays. What next, are they going force all of of to be obese americans and outlaw sex on sundays? I say we impose harsher DUI laws, like good ole’ europe, but let’s NOT force drugs down our people’s throat.
It may be a strange way to look at it, but after 13 years of absolutly horrible problems with my own drinking, and after coming close to death a number of times as a result of alcohol poisoning, after crashing my car, cursing out my 53 year old mother, after getting drunk and being arrested for a few things more serious than dui I really wouldn’t think it such a tragedy if it will? save lives. It always starts with little “petty” crimes like public intox or dui.
I didn’t know about this. Thanks? for bringing it to light.
