Drug testing of pregnant women goes before court
Lori Griffin, jailed after testing positive for cocaine during premature labor, questions a Supreme Court review on whether hospital drug testing of pregnant women and reporting results to police violates the Fourth Amendment. The South Carolina program, begun in 1989, led to arrests and later changes. 253 women tested positive, 30 arrested, and the policy ended in 1994 amid federal funding threats. The case centers on balancing patient privacy and child welfare.
