Another bad disincentive to having kids - legal treatment during pregnancy
If you are on the fence about having kids, and you find out the horrible things that the state can do to you based on your pregnancy, why would anyone ever go ahead and get pregnant?
12 hours into labor being required to go on a Zoom call for court hearing to force you to have a C-section?
Stopping drug use immediately once you discover you are pregnant and being completely honest about that and then being incarcerated while pregnant for a positive drug test?
Being charged with manslaughter after you were shot and suffered a miscarriage because of it?
Being allowed only limited, supervised contact with your newborn after a false positive drug test (from eating an everything bagel)?
I would like everyone, including the state, to be supportive of pregnant women, and I think if we are caring of them and their developing babies, unlike the cases discussed here where what happens to both the mothers and their babies is horribly awful, I think people feel better about becoming parents and are more likely to do it.
