Reply #25: This article notes that Pennsylvania passed a bill allowing such testing three years ago.

"A Pennsylvania House Bill 2760 that passed three years ago allows hospitals to test a mother's blood to protect newborns. But the ACLU said Jameson hospital went too far and failed to consider what Mort might have eaten."

I'm not sure how to find out if/what other states have similar laws, but it seem like this is something Democrats should be watching and fighting.

Note: The article also states that CYS went to court without the parents present to get the order to remove the child. Thus, the only evidence they had to remove the child was this single test.
