The Supreme Court today ruled that hospitals cannot administer drug tests to pregnant women without their consent and forward positive results to the police.

By a vote of 6 to 3, the court held that the drug tests conducted in the past by a Charleston, S.C., public hospital amounted to warrantless police searches of the women.

Mothers who tested positive faced charges not only because cocaine use itself is illegal, but also because, under South Carolina law, a viable fetus is a "person" and a woman who takes cocaine while pregnant may be accused of distributing illegal drugs to a minor, or of committing child abuse.

The hospital began drug-testing in 1989, during the crack cocaine epidemic, and turned positive results over to police. The policy was changed in 1990 to give drug-using patients a choice between being arrested or enrolling in drug treatment programs.

Ten women sued the hospital in 1993, saying the policy violated the Constitution. The hospital, which treats indigent patients, later dropped the policy, but by then police had arrested 30 maternity patients.
