saturdaygig Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 If we were to do that test, then for consistency there's a whole lot more. Everyone needs to be tested for every lifestyle choice with the potential to harm their health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 It's hard to say. On the one hand taking away peoples rights to do something as simple *although stupid* as smoking seems ridiculous. But then again what about the right of the baby? I think it should be illegal to smoke and drink while pregnant for the sake of the child. But I also believe in the right to make your own choices over your body. I really don't know. But rest assured that IF I'm ever pregnant you can test me all you like because I am definitely not going to be smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 and do what if they smoke? terminate the pregnancy against the mothers wishes? If not, what is the point exactly? Utterly stupid idea That was my first thought. What then happens if they do smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 26, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2010 and do what if they smoke? terminate the pregnancy against the mothers wishes? If not, what is the point exactly? Utterly stupid idea That was my first thought. What then happens if they do smoke? 'You shouldn't do that, you know, here have a pamphlet'. I think that just about sums it up. You'd be trying to curtail someones liberty (in a really quite pathetic way) for no real 'benefit' whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 No one is going to curtail anyone's liberty and no one is going to be testing pregnant wimmin, it's just another PR missive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very fair point. 'it was proposed today that...'. Why by, exactly. I proposed today that all sexy girls should wear crop tops on sunny days, although the papers haven't picked up on it yet.

ender4 Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I proposed today that all sexy girls should wear crop tops on sunny days, although the papers haven't picked up on it yet. i second your proposal & add an amendment that they must wear short shorts as well.
