Except addiction is a disease, injecting a pregnant person while they sleep is textbook assault. If the disease wasn't addiction would the mother still be culpable? What if a pregnant person has a disease but the treatment will cause a miscarriage. Just because she is/was an addict doesn't mean you can just write her off.
