tell me what you think about this

Jinx, driving fast isn't 'bad' unless you're driving beyond your level of comfort (feel free to read www.motorists.org on speed limits etc)

It's certainly not anyone's place to stop a pregnant woman from drinking. You can tell them that they're irresponsible retards but it's not your place to do so.

The difference about driving fast and drinking while pregnant is that you're still in control of the car and you are keeping the risk fairly minimized (are my front tires gripping? What are the conditions like? How fast have I taken that turn at before etc). With alcohol on the other hand you have no idea what ammount is bad, how your baby is reacting to it etc. The difference is about knowing the 'acceptable' risk. Just how much alcohol is needed to cause FSA or when it is risky/not risky to take it isn't known. Which is what my first post was about.

I probably shouldn't even talk about driving fast....if there isn't a car in front of me, then I am speeding.

Also, a missed point is that the woman KNOWS that she shouldn't drink. She is weak willed and she admits to that. She admits that she 'wanted' the doctor to tell her that she mustn't drink etc because without him ordering she felt no power to stop herself from drinking/weed. She also know that her husband doesn't aprove. So you have a case of a woman who knows that she is possibly harming her future child but does it anyway.
