I’m glad to know that this mother, who was already doing the right thing for her unborn child as best she could without health insurance, can therefore be deprived of her rights without due process.

I think that’s about the only coherent response I can manage here.

I always thought Wisconsin was pretty sane until Scott Walker got his hands on it.

Where is the sperm donor in all this?

I’d say “Amend the law to provide for non-custodial and non-punitive treatment for pregnant women who need it.” Cheaper than jail, and in this case it would have worked. Won’t work all the time, but it meets the triple test of saving lives, cutting costs and enhancing freedom.

There isn’t any tool that can’t be misused. Change it and these evil loons will misuse that as well.

When a person is on a holy mission there is no evil they will not commit.

All it takes is one wingnut to shit in the pool and ruin it for everyone else.

I always thought Wisconsin was pretty sane until Scott Walker got his hands on it.

A key point to note: The the “cocaine mom” law was passed in 1998 and the Ms. Beltran’s advocate stated that the use of this law began to spike in 2006. Since Scott Walker was elected governor in 2010, he cannot be the source of the misuse of this legislation. It is possible to argue he exacerbated the problems (though I am not making that argument) but the article does make clear that the problems were in place years before the current governor took office.

re: #8 Dark_Falcon

I understand that. My comment was meant to illustrate my surprise that such crazy even existed in WI in the pre-Walker days.
