One of the things that annoys, as you know there are many many things that do, is stupid, ultimately unesccary and meanginless laws, in particular, laws that seem to serve no purpose other than making something that is already illegal some how "more illegal"
What I man in specific, is there is this person, who was born to a woman who was a drug addtic and she was taking drugs during the time of her pregnancy so he has all sorts of problems now becasue of it, so he is going around pruposing this new law which says that women who are pregnant cannot take any drugs.
*scratches head*
Now last time I checked, taking drugs was already illegal period and there is already a law saying that no one, man woman, or child, pregnant women included can take drugs, end of story.
Of course the point of this new law is suppose to be to make it a strcter penalty if a woman who is pregnent gets caught using drugs, than just a normal drug charge.
But really is that acutally going to achvie anything at all in the long run?
As I am pretty sure that the majority of women whom use drugs while they are pregnant, were already drug users to start with, I do not think any one said "Hey now that I am pregnant I am going to start doing drugs"
So considering these women have already shown thier disregaurd for the law, is this new law really going to stop them?
Are they really going to sit there and say, oh well I won't feed my drug habbit while I am pregnant if I can get 10 years in jail instead of 5 if I am caught. Of course that is just figurtively speaking I do not know the extact punishments for drug use or just how much this new law wants to increace it by, but you get the drift.
I really do not think there are any law abditing citizens that suddnely start to get drug cravings once they are pregnent, that are going to be like I really want to do some crank, but if I do I am really going to get in trouble, so I wont.
Pregnent women whom are users have already broken a long list of laws, prior to thier taking drugs whilg pregnant, so really what is just one more going to be to them?
