Prosecuting Pregnant Addicts for Dealing to the Unborn

Abstract

This Note outlines the history of fetal protection under the law and the changes that have taken place in recent years in the area of liability to the fetus. This Note will particularly address the legal responsibilities owed by the pregnant woman to her fetus. Finally, this Note will examine a case in which a woman was held criminally responsible for ingesting narcotics that resulted in harm to her fetus, and how that decision may affect the way in which courts choose to deal with similar situations in the future.
