An Oklahoma lawmaker is trying to make it illegal for people to use medical marijuana during pregnancy, which could make it easier for prosecutors to file CHILD NEGLECT charges, even when pregnant people have doctor-approved licenses.

📢BEING PREGNANT IS NOT A REASON TO TAKE AWAY A PERSON’S RIGHTS📢
Article headline from The Frontier: It's legal in Oklahoma for pregnant women to use medical marijuana. A bill aims to change that. By Brianna Bailey. Quote: “Conduct that is legal for everybody with a prescription who is of age in Oklahoma, suddenly it is illegal for them,” Gell said. “To me, that’s a real question of discrimination against women with the capacity for pregnancy.” Facts: - Oklahoma had the second-highest number of pregnancy-related prosecutions in the first year after Roe. v. Wade was overturned. - Oklahoma is the only state we’ve found where pregnant people have been criminally charged for using medical marijuana. . The group opposes prosecuting women for substance use during pregnancy, arguing that it can keep women from seeking prenatal care. Criminalizing the use of a legal drug like medical marijuana could keep pregnant women from taking other doctor-prescribed medications because of the fear of prosecution, representatives for the group said.
