what?
the article measured the baby's BAC, johnny pro-life, not the mother's - and, if you want 'baby's rights' then you'll have to apply the law to the babies as well, so the legal limit is still .10 (or .08 if you live in a quaker state like illinios or cali).
here's where the hypocrisy kicks in: if the mother died during delivery, under the logic we're seing, shouldn't the baby be convicted of manslaughter?
Valkyrie is completely correct, in my mind, in the way she's broken the situation down. Are you going to start putting mothers in jail for not getting enough folic acid? it's a simple extension of the principle being stated already, and the consequences are nearly as bad.
