Her glue-sniffing habit was deemed dangerous to the normal development of the fetus. The Court held that her solvent-dependency did not justify the original court action, but both the Court and the various interveners disregarded the current state of our knowledge on the fetal syndromes. There is thus a continuing disconnect between the scientific understanding of fetal risk and the development of Constitutional law around women's reproductive rights. This paper reviews the case and follows it through the appellate process; we examine the research literature on fetal syndromes tracking the changes over time. Finally we comment on the interventions by the Winnipeg Child and Family Services, the Women's Health Rights Coalition, by The Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and both The Canadian Abortion Rights Action League and the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0829320100006074","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,4]],"date-time":"2014-08-04T11:38:33Z","timestamp":1407152313000},"page":"77-99","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Fetal Syndromes and the Charter: The Winnipeg Glue-Sniffing Case"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Thelma","family":"McCormack","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0829320100006074_ref047","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000120449"},{"key":"S0829320100006074_ref023","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(89)92044-8"},{"key":"S0829320100006074_ref006","volume-title":"The Future of Children","author":"Murray","year":"1991"},{"key":"S0829320100006074_ref022","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1992.03480030084043"},{"key":"S0829320100006074_ref015","volume-title":"Social Change and Women's Reproductive Health Care","author":"Stotland","year":"1988"},{"key":"S0829320100006074_ref043","first-page":"A9","volume-title":"The Globe and Mail","author":"Platiel","year":"1992"},{"key":"S0829320100006074_ref037","volume-title":"The Mind of your Newborn Baby","author":"Chamberlain","year":"1998"},{"key":"S0829320100006074_ref045","volume-title":"Misconceiving Mothers.
