This makes real sense! You may abort your child, but heaven help you if you smoke before you decide to abort the baby. Typical convoluted logic.

"It's my body" is a convenient lie. Technically an infant is "blood of my blood" but killing it still wouldn't be right.

And an infant isn't viable for quite some time. Can't move (walk/crawl), can't seek out food itself. It still has rights.

Anything that creates more rights and protections for unborn children as a matter of law is a good thing. If it negatively impacts smokers, it's a shame, but too bad.

Ultimate Nanny State Ping.

For those unaware, this clown Banzhaf is also a major player in the food police...........

No hypocracy here, nothing to see, move along, typical leftist logic, can't wait to see the FReeper support for more government invasion on persons individual liberty.

Since the fetus is a baby, killing it is murder, and exposing it to avoidable toxins for personal pleasure is child abuse.

Such hypocrisy from the left, but not at all surprising.

Gee, I don't recall lawsuits against mothers who took crack and other recreational drugs while pregnant, even when those mothers gave birth to crack addicted babies.

Interesting for marking for ProLife articles.

I'm a smoker and have 2 daughters...they weighed in at 8lbs and 8.5lbs. Both are healthy, taller than me, and wear sizes 3-5(ages 22 and 14).
