Why are they drug testing women during childbirth? What kind of fucked up shit is that?
Started to become common during the moral panic around drugs in the 80s and 90s here in the US. I don’t know how it’s legal but this country is very backwards.
Pointing out that a person has taken an illegal drug at some point is one of the top dehumanization tools of conservatives. It is a very potent catalyst when combined with non-whiteness. It has a rich history going back at least to the nixon days.
Before that... At least goes back to the "Reefer Madness" days
Oh yeah, and of course the underlying bigotry and tribalism goes back like all the way.
Like half the conservatives ik be sniffing their keys in the bathroom
Well sure. The Only Moral Addiction Is My Addiction, so to speak.
How common are psychedelics in the military? Some friends woul have me think its insanely common but I only know from sources outside myself in that case. Just be downing shrooms and/or acid since it's not on drug tests.
Its...decently common. When I was at huachuca shrooms and acid would go around, there'd be a shakedown every six months at the TRADOC soldiers' barracks . For long missions it was incredibly easy to run into Ritalin and such. No one I knew did anything like coke or heroin.
They should - but only for medical reasons kept confidential. It's important info for the doctor for the health of the kid. But not the cops.
Honestly I think it would be helpful to know if the baby might go into withdrawal but the positive test would be more of a flag to do a few rounds of neonatal abstinence scoring at set intervals after birth. I don't see why you'd need to call CPS if the baby doesn't significantly withdraw, since that's the actual harm that would be done to the baby. If their NAS values are negligible obviously either the test was a false positive or mom wasn't doing enough to actually put the baby at risk.
In some states, testing and then notifying CPS of positives is required by law. The healthcare staff hate it as much as the patients, because it does more harm than good.
