Message: <blockquote data-quote="ChrisSmith" data-source="post: 3272874" data-attributes="member: 144538">You can charge someone with fetal abuse for drinking whilst pregnant??? Who knew?But the difference is actually pretty straightforward (and irrelevant to the abortion argument). Drinking/taking drugs whilst pregnant can lead to developmental issues and abnormalities in the fetus. If the fetus is carried to term, that means the resulting child (who we all agree is alive) has been physically harmed by those actions. If you have an abortion at week 10, then getting high at week 6 doesn't make a blind bit of difference, does it?</blockquote>
