| Abstract: | The justice system has witnessed the negative consequences of chemical abuse. Infants are especially vulnerable to harm as a result of maternal drug use. This article uses a legal perspective to examine the conflict between maternal and fetal rights and reviews selected decisions and laws designed to protect children from maternal drug use. It advocates a policy of state intervention in order to protect children from the damage which can accompany maternal chemical use. |
