Chronic illnesses like depression, diabetes and hypertension don't magically disappear during pregnancy. And as women delay childbearing, more moms-to-be are struggling with cancer. So it's hardly surprising that two-thirds of women take up to five drugs over the course of their pregnancy and labor. Yet only a dozen prescription drugs are approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during pregnancy, and they're all pregnancy-related: drugs for inducing labor, for example, or epidural anesthesia.

Alexander Hamilton famously said, “Those who stand for nothing fall for anything,” and I believe...

"It's unclear what case Coleman could make that he hasn't already put forward, so it would risk looking like a quest for delay instead of a search for fairness," Kettl says.
