The same thing that happens when someone is reported for child abuse.
Abortion arguments aside, I don't see how it's hard to come to the conclusion that drug abuse while pregnant could be considered child abuse. Especially in states that may have already set laws based on when a fetus is considered "a person".

I mean, I get the desire to shame women into not using drugs while pregnant, but where does this stop?
There are a lot of things women shouldn't eat or do while pregnant that could harm the fetus.
Alcohol
Tobacco
Shitty diet
Soft cheeses
Certain types of seafood
Use certain cleaning products
Dye their hair
Clean a litter box
Going to test for all of that, too?
If men are under the influence when they get a woman pregnant, that can be damaging as well. Are they going to test men before they ejaculate?
If this is just one private practice doing this, that's their right and if patients don't like the intrusion they can switch doctors. Speak with their feet. But if this becomes a mandate from insurance companies or the government, then I have a huge problem with it.
