You think it's ok to smoke during pregnancy, even though smoking can cause preterm birth (which can cause problems), low birth weight, and other health problems?

Drugs are illegal, so that's a little more complicated argument, but a woman can do drugs since it's her body and you're ok with the baby being born addicted to drugs?

There are many other things a woman can do to harm an unborn baby during pregnancy, but you think it's ok because it's her body?

I think a woman who is not forced to carry a child, but does so because she chooses to, is far less likely to engage in any of those behaviors. That is a woman who cares about the baby she is carrying and is invested in seeing it born healthy.
