Oklahoma and Tennessee have become the two most recent states to require drug testing of people applying for welfare benefits, though the legality of such measures is still unclear, reports Pamela Prah of Stateline.

Mothers are usually advised by healthcare practitioners to avoid intake of drugs during pregnancy because of possible teratogenic effect or the development of congenital anomalies in the fetus. After delivery, mothers are also advised to avoid intake of medications while lactating. This is because certain medications may cross the breast milk and act similar on the baby as it acts on the person who needs the drug.
