>> joining us now is representative terry lynn weaver, she sponsored the bill in the tennessee house. she joins us from nashville this morning. representative weaver, thank you for coming on aljazeera. if i'm addicted to drugs and pregnant and i know if i go to the doctor for a check up i may be turned into the police, i'm probably not going to the doctor. have you thought about how this law could discourage pregnant women from seeking medical care and hurt the developing fetus. >> good morning, stephanie and thank you for having me on your program. yes. ma'am i have put a lot of thought into it as has the governor and my colleagues here in the state. tennessee has a lot of things to offer, it's a beautiful place to come visit and a beautiful place to live, however we are number one in the nation for the amounts of babies being born addicted to drugs. house bill 1295 offers help and the opportunity for women to defeat and get help from drugs,
