A drug-addicted mother can have her children taken away by social services.

That is not "sequestering" her

We typically throw durg abusers in jail, or put them on probation, or some such thing. I know that as a libertarian you probably oppose that, but that's not the issue.

That's true whether or not they are pregnant---or even female---and so is of no relevance to the question of sequestering pregnant women.
