ACLU Defends Woman Who Gave Birth To Drug Addicted Baby

| 1 Comment

Once again, the ACLU are confused on who is truly the victim.

Stephanie E. Robbins, 24, was arrested Tuesday at her home in the rural community of Wittman. She is charged with reckless endangerment and possession of drugs. Test results showed drugs in the bloodstream of Robbins' child, who was born at a Baltimore hospital, authorities said.

The baby is being cared for by the county's Department of Social Services, officials said.

Without responsibility, all of our rights will crumble before our eyes. The ACLU obviously does not believe in responsibility. This woman needs help with her drug problem for sure, but she also needs to be held accountable for her actions. This fragile little life was born into this world addicted to drugs, and the ACLU thinks the mother is the victim.

Here was the ACLU's compassionate response to this.

The ACLU says that because Maryland law does not define a fetus as a person, a mother shouldn't be prosecuted for conduct that could endanger her unborn child.

The ACLU have fought similar cases in the past, expect to see them take this one too. What ever happened to responsibility in America? The true victim here is a defenseless baby, but the ACLU had rather play the victim card for an irresponsible drug addict, that has put her own child's life at risk for her fix.

I'm generally supportive of holding people accountable, but I'm concerned about where this trend might ultimately stop.

It's hard to argue that someone who screws up her baby by using illegal drugs is guilty of negligence. But what about a mommy who gives her kid fetal alcohol syndrome? How many drinks can she have before we call her guilty and throw her in jail? What about a woman who works in a job that poses certain risks to her unborn child, such as working with various chemicals? Is she supposed to quit work during her pregnancy?

In short, is a mother legally responsible for everything that happens to her child while in-utero? If so, doesn't that legal responsibility give her a strong incentive to abort? After all, if this drug-addicted mommy had just killed her child in a partial-birth abortion, then child endangerment wouldn't be an issue....
