[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im a hospice chaplain.  I held a baby as she died having seizure after seizure due to her drug addicted mother.  There were other issues as well, likely from drug and alcohol use. Even after holding that precious infant, I wouldn’t want her mother jailed.  That’s barbaric.  It does nothing to deter future drug use.  It doesn’t help the baby.  And it’s a dangerous path.  Would you like to go to jail for drinking before you knew you were pregnant?  Should smokers go to prison if their babies are low birth weight? What if you slip up and eat too much sugar with gestational diabetes?  What if I ride a roller coaster and miscarry?  Morning after pill?

Think people. It is a tragic story.  She miscarried.  That should NEVER come with prison. [/quote]
She's irresponsible and jail is a punishment for that. Jail is not really meant to be a deterrent. She should of either sought out an abortion or entered a rehab program as soon as she found out she was pregnant. [/quote]

Just like the father has to?  Or did he go to jail too?  These programs discriminate against women.  It's BS and illegal.  Stop devaluing women.  They aren't baby makers.  Some guy got her pregnant and he is NOT being held to this standard because it is ridiculous and illegal. [/quote]
