In Tennessee, it is now a crime for a woman to give birth to a
child with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). NAS is a condition
in which the baby is born dependent on the narcotic drugs the
mother was taking during pregnancy. While the state has seen a
ten-fold increase of NAS over the last decade, many in the state
are wondering if criminalizing the addiction of a pregnant woman is
the best way to combat this condition.
