South Carolina weighs amending laws on pregnant drug use
Brenda Peppers, who delivered a stillborn daughter after crack use and later pled guilty in a pregnancy drug case, asks the state Supreme Court to overturn a ruling allowing prosecution for endangering a fetus. Her lawyer argues the fetus should not be treated as a child under child abuse laws. The case echoes a long national debate as prosecutors defend unborn-child protections amid evolving legal standards.
