Try telling that to the thousands upon thousands of drug addicted babies born to drug using parents. Try telling that to the children in schools who struggle with various learning and social deficits as a direct result of the illegal (and sometimes legal) drugs their parents used and abused. I see the evil in drug consumption on a daily basis.
Ever heard of fetal alchohol syndrome (FAS)? Prescription and over the counter drugs can harm your fetus. While we’re at it let’s prohibit tobacco, caffeine, cleaning products, sweeteners, raw food, and so on.
You are fishing for victims.
I can’t imagine any pregnant woman with a functioning brain even taking an aspirin without dire need-the whistle has been blown on prescription drugs such as antidepressants in the UK already-they are looking just as bad as the illicit stuff.
I and most of my family believe drugs are bad juju, illicit or prescription, and I never touch them, but that is just my opinion. I would never seek to force it on anyone by law or threat.
As a child, I remember hearing about thalidomide causing terrible birth defects-my mom told me that it was considered a safe sleeping pill for years...
By the way, I’d like to point up how you basically forfeited the argument when instead of responding to my unassailable verdict that drug use isn’t evil in itself first through adding pregnancy into the mix, then by admitting legal substances affect kids, too. But if that’s true, it is not grounds for making drugs illegal. There must be some extra element with which we may distinguish between illegal and legal baby-affecting substances.
What is it? Your irrational fear and hatred of some drugs, that’s what.
