Even though this is a matter of free choice, in a way, it isn't. What a pregnant woman does with her body affects the baby and the baby has no control. I would hope that an expectant mother would have the best interest of the baby in mind. I would say (cringing) that this bill violates her rights. Yes I think it's stupid. Yet, we have no right to legislate what people do. You'd have to be illiterate or stupid not to know that smoking is harmful to yourself and your unborn child. We can't say that these mothers to be are making uninformed decisions. Just stupid, and unfortunately, it's not against the law to be stupid.
