that doesn’t mean that drug testing pregnant mothers is a bad policy inherently ___ it’s a good policy, with sub-par implementation
What is the goal with the drug tests? If it’s to determine what additional resources and medical care will be needed then I agree with you. If the goal is incarceration and punishment, which is the majority of “resources” CPS has to offer, then it’s actively harmful.
Good policy fundamentally requires good implementation. Don’t forget when forced sterilization was just “good policy” for the exact reasons you’re outlining above. The “sub-par implementation” you’re describing has the same ultimate result, just with a lot more orphans.
