Yes, let's give women even more reason to fear being punished for reproducing. 
I, like you, know I get up every day wondering "how can I make a woman's body even more like an incubator, legally".
Does that apply to husbands who smoke next to the pregnant woman >

Or how about dead beat dads?  Why isn't it illegal to be a bad father? >

Because you aren’t potentially killing ur baby lol this is a terrible comparison >

But it would be harming the child. >

I don’t smoke nor do I agree with smokers but it’s still not the same for a pregnant woman to smoke and a man that’s sitting beside her for 3 minutes >

Second hand smoke is proven to be harmful for the pregnant woman as well as the baby. >

Hmm does this extend to sushi, rare steak,  and unmicrowaved deli turkey too? >

Only bi-monthly on the weekend >

That went right over your head >

Ahaha I had to double check it was actually the OP! >

Not trying to justify drinking and smoking during pregnancy but out of curiosity how would this play out with the backdrop of “my body, my choice”? >

"My body, my choice" is a great slogan and ideal. Taken to its absolutes/literally though it is moronic. Obviously it's not your right to chop off all your baby's toes the day before birth because the baby is "your body" thats absolutely insane. There is medium ground between safety of the mother, timing during pregnancy, and safety of the child and that should be what people discuss and argue about. This post was basically a joking way to get people to look at it that way. Obviously what I posted, taken literally is crazy, but at its heart it's what's right, we need to find the sane middle ground with it.... as well as "My body My choice" in spirit? Yes. Literally? No, that's insane. >

All of could think of when I read this was..
Erm.. Americans are pretty hot on chopping off their baby's foreskin 😬 >

YUP >

My body my right is never used in this context. >

Let's arrest all fathers for drinking too 
Why stop there? Arrest fathers for smoking and drug abuse too. >

Yeeeaah I hate seeing someone smoke, do drugs, or drink while pregnant. But at the same time, addictions aren't so easily broken. That, and with the restriction on abortion for some an reason is already going to cause enough foster care children.
