Court: Protection laws exempt fetuses in Wisconsin ruling
Wisconsin Supreme Court held the child protection law does not cover fetuses. A pregnant woman who used cocaine was hospitalized under the law. The court, in a 4-3 decision, overturned a lower court finding that a fetus is a child under protection law, saying the Legislature did not intend fetal inclusion. The ruling affects how officials may act to protect a fetus and preserves parental responsibility separate from fetal status.
