AP Online 02-17-2000 Judge Forbids Pregnancy for Woman
HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- A woman convicted of endangering her unborn child by taking drugs was ordered Wednesday not to get pregnant for ten years.
As part of her sentence, Dawn Marie Spinkle of Helena was instructed by District Judge Dorothy McCarter to take a pregnancy test every two months. If she tests positive, the judge said Sprinkle could be jailed.
``I don't want another damaged baby born because we didn't do enough to supervise that woman,'' the judge said. ``If she wants to drug herself to death, fine. But we can't have her taking drugs when she's pregnant.''
