If you meet a FAS kid/adult, and I am sure you all have, its really hard to not get disgusted by the stupid preventable risk this woman is forcing on a kid. Come up to the reservations in northern MN and WI. It pushes my big button so I would probably say something whether I know the person or not. Register my concern.

I have worked serving drinks and I have refused to serve a woman who was obviously pregnant. She didnt flip out, she just kinda shrugged and left, probably to get a drink elsewhere. I didnt get any grief from the management.

This is one reason I am pro choice, so if you do not wish to parent, you may choose not to. Perhaps she's going to give the kid up for adoption, and doesnt give a shit. Perhaps she is just really stupid, immature and selfish. If her choice is to parent, then the key thing is her responsibility for the health and well being of her offspring.\

I wouldn't drink while pregnant, but I do drive too fast with the kids in the car - so who the fuck am I, kwim?

So far, its sounds like you're lucky. I wouldnt take anything for granted. Odds are you'll find somekind of accident. And I hope its a harmless one. You can control some of the factors that raise the risk of injury: speed, belts, carseats, alertness so to me it makes sense to at least attempt that.
