In B4 my #platformmandated comment clowns come in to tell us how it's not something that happened during a birth because it was a C-section, or something else obtuse. ๐Ÿคก๐Ÿคก๐Ÿคก๐Ÿคก They are very smart you see.

Here's a link to the article for those people like me who don't trust a screenshot: https://www.themarshallproject.org/2024/12/11/pregnant-hospital-drug-test-medicine

If you're getting downvoted, it's for the charged title, preemptively playing the victim in the description, and the poorly-cropped screenshot that doesn't say what the rest of the post is saying. Also, no link to actually read the article...which isn't even the first article about denied coverage making the rounds on social media

Maybe you run into those clowns on Facebook and X but I have never seen a comment anything like the one you're describing on the fediverse...

Thanks, I read it before it got posted which is part of why I was kind of irked by OP. Instead of a link, they included a straw man.

Reading this article, there is an underlying feeling that the women and children being tested are of a certain socioeconomic group. Seems to me they are being targeted by staff who have some strong biases.
