Warren County Baby Born Drunk

Police in Glens Falls say its a case like they've never seen before. An expectant mother was rushed to Glens Falls Hospital on Saturday to deliver a baby. However, when the baby was born, it had a blood alcohol content of .18. That's over twice the legal limit for an adult. 22-year old Stacey Gilligan was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and sent to jail. No word on the condition of the baby.

I think the cops are getting a little out of hand these days with telling people what they can and can't do! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Really. Next thing they're going to tell women they're not entitled to their god-given right to inject heroin or snort coke when they're pregnant. Back in the day, fetuses knew how to handle their booze and drugs...:rolleyes:

Thats pretty messed up, Tracy.


:eek:

LOL Like your post made any more sense-

LOL

I think that is something called SARCASM. See dictionary.com for a definition.:p

I thought KillarneyRose's post was funny. I had a sarcastic remark to make too, but I don't really want the flames.

LOL @ KR :D

When you choose to have a baby, you take on responsibility for another person other than yourself. If you're not pregnant, then whatever you put into your body affects only you. This includes food, drink, medicinal drugs, and recreational drugs. (I'm setting aside the issue of secondhand smoke for the moment.) But if you've chosen to have a child, then for the 9 months of your pregnancy and for however long you breastfeed, everything you put into your body affects that baby as well.

I am making the assumption that the baby was wanted, because it was delivered, which implies that she was well into her third trimester if not actually due.

Becoming a mother is about the most selfless thing you can do. But it comes with certain responsibilities, and you can't pick and choose which responsibilities to honor and which to ignore.

C'mon Bethany, I can always count on you to post exactly what I'm thinking :D

Don't worry, I'm here to make you look better.

I don't know if you're serious or not, but I actually agree with this statement.

Edited.

If you reported a post in this thread, please consider it taken care of.

CTFU!

See, I'm going to stop drinking diet Coke when I read GC, cause my nose is taking a beating, and my laptop screen is getting all sticky!

holy jesus, i hope the baby is okay :(

Right after I found out I was pregnant with my oldest daughter I must have been thinking I was Mother Nature personified or something because I remember on the platform in Princeton waiting for the morning train into NY and there was this poor woman seated near me enjoying her morning cigarette. I fixed her with my holier-than-thou laser gaze and totally laid into her about how she was polluting the air around her with secondhand smoke and who knew how many pregnant ladies she'd affected with her selfishness, etc. Poor thing; I really scared her because the rest of the time I rode the train she always stayed as far away from me as possible!

The irony of the fact that I was working for Philip Morris totally escaped me at the time.
