“Pa. Supreme Court rules mothers’ drug use in pregnancy isn’t child abuse”: Chris Huffaker has this front page article in today’s edition of The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Aubrey Whelan of The Philadelphia Inquirer has an article headlined “Pa. Supreme Court: Mother who used drugs during pregnancy didn’t commit child abuse.”

Matt Miller of The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania reports that “Pregnant women who use illegal drugs can’t be charged with child abuse, Pa. Supreme Court says.”

And Mark Scolforo of The Associated Press reports that “Court rules mothers’ drug use in pregnancy isn’t child abuse.”
