According to WPVI, two police officers were patrolling the Allegheny Station area in Kensington around 4 p.m. Monday.
A passerby alerted the officers to a pregnant female who was unconscious. They administered Narcan to the woman twice before she regained consciousness.
"At that time, the Philadelphia Fire Department came over to the location and she refused their services. She didn't want to go to the hospital. She didn't want any kind of medical treatment. She got up and left the area," SEPTA Police Lt. Michael Fox said.

Oh yeah, and her drug addicted soon-to-be-born baby is just waiting to get its own welfare check for mama to spend on more drugs. For some reason I feel like she, and the rest of society, would be better off if she was not revived. Good samaritan officers didn't do anyone any favors by reviving her. She didn't want the help that ruined her buzz, and immediately got her buzz on again. Like others have said many times before "can't fix stupid."
Narcan is a waste of money and resources.
Narcan takes the "high" away so the drugie scumbag just does more.
Ask Hillary what she would do. It's not a specious question, considering that she's the #1 self-ascribed advocate for women's and children's rights. Of course, in her mind, unborn children have no rights, depending on what day it is.
Terribly sad for the pregnant addict.
Disastrously sad for the unborn infant, likely to be born severely compromised, if in fact the mother lives long enough to deliver. And then the living hell of the kid's life with such a parent.
It's so bad in the Kensington area of Phila. the librarian has Narcan in her desk and carries it in her pursue. She has saved numerous junkies and they just keep it up. These peoples parents are junkies or alcoholics or dead. Its a way of life. This baby has little hope even if it gets born.
It's shocking that we have it here. Just wait it gets worse. It will no longer be thugs and riff raff trash it will be someone you know or are related to. Good people that the lack of opportunities and surplus of apathy, ill hope and despair have brought down. The community needs to get proactive or there will be a lot of grief.
Lack of opportunities is a piss poor reason to do heroin. And it's already affected people from all walks of life here on the Shore, all races.
Prepare to support this addicted newborn for the rest of its life.

Translation:
What a poor choice that child has made! I know he is very young, but surely he could have chosen a better parent. Why should WE have to pay for this baby's bad choice??
This baby may not have many choices if it's born with any one of several debilitating, mental and physical deficits or aberrations, the ones that come from intrauterine exposure to drugs and alcohol. Special education, a 1:1 teaching assistant, social service assistance, Social Security payments, Medicaid or Medicare, psychological counselling forever, etc, etc, etc. The system and the country are brimming with a veritable epidemic of developmentally disabled and mentally disturbed products of the incredibly poor choices of the mothers.
Perfect example of why Narcan needs to be outlawed. Great excuse for these folks to continue their cycle of abuse endangering the lives of others. When they OD let them be.
Exactly. & contrary to what close minded people think around here a lot of this exact frivolous waste is currently happening around here. These addicts that expose their children and/or near them to these conditions should be responsible for covering these cost. Not tax payers. Someone will say how? Court ordered jail work programs which will deduct monies if they refuse. They caused the problem its their s to fix.
That's why I believe we should let nature take its course.
Ok so people want Dealers charged with murder - how about this mom be charged with child abuse, child neglect! Possibly attempted murder!
Narcan doesn't SAVE lives, it only prolongs them; just like life support to a person that is in a irreversible coma. The outcome is the same. And some drug company is reaping billions from an ineffective treatment for drug abuse and addiction. It's like saving a starving child in a desert, just to have them grow up and produce 10 more starving children. What's the point? All that we are doing is treating the symptoms, not the problem. As long as we do that, the problems will never go away.
This case opens a Pandora's Box of possible actions and outcomes.
