A real nanny state or what.

This is a very controversial law. The paradox is that we put these women in prison so that they will not harm their child. But as soon as they get abortion they free. In real life though its only the most hardcore drugadict that are put in a locked facility. People with alcohol abuse and only recreational drug-use might get probation and have to undergo a control regime to make sure they are not harming their child.

'Siri' was enrolled in an opioid-assisted drug rehabilitation programme in Norway when she discovered that she was sixth months pregnant.

Any damage to the unborn had already occurred.

Actually, I find it rather weird. I’ve always thought of Norway/Sweden as being Progressive Atheist jurisdictions and as such would have simply aborted the pregnancy and sterilized the drug addict and dropped her off at a “free drug” zone where she could drug to death. Why would a semi-facscist Nanny state waste millions on the program discussed in this article? I don’t get it.
