OK, first off I have to state that I live in the state with the highest rate of fetal alcohol syndrome in the United States and have lived and worked with the children who have to suffer from this illness because their mother's couldn't be bothered to limit their alcohol use for 9 freaking months.

I feel that bartenders/liquor stores etc should have the moral (and legal) standing to refuse alcohol to women who are pregnant. I don't know if women should be fined or prosecuted for drinking while pregnant (AKA making it illegal) but there should still be some precedent out there to keep these women from getting their drink on. Personally I don't care if they drink themselves to death but the fetus doesn't have a say in the whole debacle and is the one who has to suffer the consequences for another person's stupid actions.
