you're right. a woman should be allowed to do whatever she wants while she is pregnant as long as it is not harming her unborn baby. it is a well proven and studied fact that drinking alcohol while pregnant can cause irreperable damage that the child will have to live with.
so if the mom wants to go out dancing til 3am, or wear skanky clothes or gain lots of weight, go for it. but if she's drinking, smoking or doing drugs that is messed up and might ruin her unborn child for life.
she had 3 times the legal limit. 3 times. imagine how many times that is for a little baby.
scary.
a woman's body is not her own for 9 months while pregnant. she has to share it with another body and is solely in charge of how her baby will turn out. (except of course for birth defects that just happen--i'm not referring to them)
