Baby tests positive for illegal drugs? Arrest the mom.

Tennessee recently passed a new law criminalizing drug use during pregnancy. The new law went into effect on July 1. The first mother to be arrested under this new law was arrested on Tuesday - both she and her daughter (born Sunday) tested positive for amphetamines.

Here's an article about it.

Many people are celebrating the law, saying it will help more babies have a drug-free start to life; many people are criticizing the law, saying it will only cause more problems, particularly for the same babies the law is trying to protect.

What do you think, GC? Would you support a similar law in your state?
