Re: AHA calls for Halls Creek alcohol ban for pregnant women
I like this idea. Why shouldnt women be allowed to drink when pregnant. They are ruining future lives. That shouldn't be acceptable. It would be like someone hitting another car while drunk driving. If the innocent driver has lasting damaged, it's not fair to them. Plus the drunk driver get's into trouble. Why not prevent future problematic children by stopping the source?

I agree with it,
If you're pregnant you should be willing to make sacrifices for that sort of commitment. Drinking while you're pregnant isn't just careless, it's messing with the child's health. |
Re: AHA calls for Halls Creek alcohol ban for pregnant women
Makes sense to me.

It's not about drinking - they can't even buy it! Also, why should the government have that much control over someones body?

(P.S., I can see where this is going already. I'm not going to say it right now though. I will when it gets to that point). |

Besides, what's to stop them getting it from elsewhere? |
Re: AHA calls for Halls Creek alcohol ban for pregnant women
Smoking and eating unhealthy foods (aka, fast food) is also controlling someone elses future. Do we stop them from doing that too?
I should also mention that Halls Creek is a mostly indigenous Australians area. |

My question is how in the world do they expect to control it. I mean women don't even start to show until their second trimester. Some barely show at all, and some women look pregnant when they are not. How would anyone know whether a woman is pregnant or not, brand them?

I see a huge flaw with this.

Re: AHA calls for Halls Creek alcohol ban for pregnant women
I guess no one else will, so I will say it - the hypocrisy is overwhelming. Most of the people here are pro-choice I assume (as am I), so why can't they buy alcohol, but could just "murder" the baby?
I think it is a very stupid decision, but there is no reason to restrict them from drinking. |
Re: AHA calls for Halls Creek alcohol ban for pregnant women
I'm torn on this one. I like the idea of saving the babies, but I want women to have the choice. They could need alcohol not to drink themselves, but for a family member such as a husband to consume. I also don't know how they will regulate it, that could be very difficult.

Good point... who can enforce this? If you aren't showing any signs, you could easily drink. Or heck, your husband could buy you alcohol and you could drink in your household with no one watching. Some women don't know they are pregnant for a long time. I don't think women should be allowed to drink when pregnant. But realistically, I don't think it is possible to enforce. |
