I know the biggest argument against this is infringing on the woman’s rights, but these are activities which have no benefit to the mother and so being now responsbile for another life within her, she should not particpate in these activities since they are proven detrimental to the health of the fetus. Now it may be asked where we draw the line, should we restrict certain fatty foods, etc. I’m not advocating for those, only specifically for smoking and drinking. Obviously jailtime is not a suitable punishment so I think a fine would be perfectly acceptable. Can you CMV?
Edit: I should mention I mean excessive alcohol, not a glass of wine.
via Smoking and/or drinking alcohol while pregnant should be illegal. CMV : changemyview.
