Who will determine what is, and what is not, “abuse”? Is this something that “the government” can decide? Will the government think it is abuse if the family does not recycle properly? Is it abuse if the family lets their children play outside? We are seeing some signs that “the government” finds that abusive. It is abuse to homeschool your children or take them to church twice a week? Is it abuse to keep your 14 year old from getting an abortion without your consent? Is it “abuse” if you do not allow your child to participate in Sharia Law week at the high school? Who will decide what is “abuse” from which the government is supposed to protect people?
Just stop with your strawman argument. Exposing an unborn child to nicotine is harmful to the child. This is not a gray area, this is clearly bad for the child.
