She's a "drug addict". So that makes her "unfit" and if she gets PG she'll be arrested & locked in jail.
Ok.
How about people who smoke? Drink?
What about the very many rightwing "christians" running this country, who would call anyone a liberal "unfit"? Or an Athiest? Or a divorcee?
And where does the blurring into "too fat/too short/too ugly" come in?
What gives ANY judge or ANY ONE AT ALL the right to tell ANY WOMAN when she can or can't get pregnant???
So the Ccommunity has to foot the bill. GUESS WHAT; THAT is part of the PRICE for DEMOCRACY and a FREE SOCIETY.
SOME people take advantage of such things. In welfare and medicare and so on. THAT IS THE PRICE for a FREE SOCIETY.
She should get COUNSELING and whatever drug rehab help suitable; but to LEGALLY ORDER her to SHUT HER UTERUS???
NO NO NO NO AND HELL NO.
