Salon Says It’s OK For Pregnant Women To Abuse Drugs

[Banacek]

Salon has advocated for both incest and pedophilia. I don’t know if this is worse, but it’s definitely bad. The liberal website says it’s perfectly fine if pregnant women want to abuse hardcore narcotics. Why? I don’t know, but I suspect it has something to do with female empowerment. No man has a right to tell a woman what to do with her body and that includes turning her offspring into a crack baby with flippers for arms.

Here’s something that Salon proudly announced: Drug use during pregnancy is not child abuse

Yeah it is.

The issue, as Salon sees it, is that some states arrest and prosecute pregnant women for abusing drugs, charging them with child abuse. As I said, Salon can’t have the patriarchy deciding how f*cked up babies should be born so they went on the offensive:

There is a popular, but scientifically disproven, belief that a pregnant woman’s use of drugs harms her fetus in certain and predictable ways. In fact, the harms associated with prenatal exposure to controlled substances are indistinguishable from other factors, such as social determinants (the conditions in which people are born, grow and live) and environmental factors (poverty, lack of access to medical care, malnutrition, or chronic stress), which may affect newborn health.

The writer of this piece of shit is of course using liberal science to fit the narrative. Actual science say that things like alcohol, tobacco, and drug use during pregnancy does harm the baby in very predictable ways including low birth weight, still birth, and birth defects. This is not an old wives tale like catching a cold because you didn’t wear sweater

The drug that does the most damage to fetal development is alcohol, because if drunk in excess, causes fetal alcohol syndrome. Yet it's not really harmful for a pregnant woman to drink an occasional beer or glass of wine during pregnancy, as long as it's not a daily and excessive thing.

I'm not saying any amount of heroin or cocaine is safe during pregnancy, but as alcohol is legal and easily available, should we prosecute every women who drinks during pregnancy?

As far as heroin goes, if a women gets into treatment by her 3rd trimester, there is a lot that can be done to ensure a healthy baby.

So when a baby born addicted to opiates or whatever is shaking and crying from withdrawals they're good with it. Well we are talking about people that consider murdering the unborn a lifestyle choice.
