And momma was being tested for drugs because??

Standard policy at the hospital, supposedly so they can provide care for the baby if it suffers withdrawal after birth. Not necessarily an adequate reason for giving the test, for reporting a “failure” to the goobermint, nor for having the threshold so many times lower for the woman than her employees at the goobermint would have to pass, but that’s their excuse and they’re sticking to it.

I guess because so many babies are being born addicted to drugs. Can't just single out ‘certain’ women to be tested now, can we? Equality for all.

“And momma was being tested for drugs because??”

I believe a lot of hospitals run a test on the babies after the women get out of the delivery room.
