   I tend to be impatient with those who proclaim loudly that the state   
   has no business in how a woman lives during her pregnancy but somehow   
   unlimited liability for her offspring when their injury is pregnancy   
   due to her self-abuse during pregnancy.   
      
   Bottom line is you can issue a pregnant woman with a 2 litre bottle of   
   orange juice every week but if she insists on mixing it with vodka   
   there is nothing to be said!   
      
   I'm enough of a redneck to think  mandatory sterilization for women   
   who produce fetal alcohol syndrome is a reasonable societal option   
   since a woman who will do that to her own child before he/she is born   
   is quite capable of even worse abuse later on.
