[quote=Anonymous]I was recently at a dinner party with some friends, one of whom is pregnant and drinking wine. She had been between jobs for quite some time now and asked if I would refer her resume at my place of employment. There is no way in hell I could expect a woman to have the sound judgement to keep government secrets when she doesn’t even have the sound judgement to abstain from alcohol to protect her little one. Lest you think I’m being sexist, I judged her husband just as harshly for pouring her that wine.

The point that I’m trying to make here is that yes, you are free to make whatever decision you want with your own body. That’s your right and one that I don’t think should ever be taken away from you. But you also have to understand that most of society sees this as self indulgent and a completely unnecessary hazard. Surveys show that 10% of pregnant women do drink, the other 90% do not. That tells us everything we need to know about how risks are tolerated, and perceived, among the majority of the population.
