Extract

Affirming the right to confidential medical care for all Americans, the United States Supreme Court struck down a drug testing scheme targeting pregnant women developed by local police and prosecutors in collaboration with doctors in a South Carolina hospital.
In its 6-3 decision in Ferguson v. City of Charleston, the Court found that the Medical University of South Carolina drug testing scheme was in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment, which provides all Americans with protection from unreasonable searches.
