Elizabeth asked:

Is it morally wrong to drink alcohol which could harm an unborn baby?

============

You're putting that question in a form which virtually forces the answer of "yes". If you ask, "Is it
morally wrong to drink alcohol which might(perhaps we do not know) harm an unborn baby?" then
there is room to say, "perhaps it will notharm the baby, and so it may not be wrong". But even then,
would you want to take a chance? And in fact, the likelihood is good that drinking alcohol while you
are pregnant willharm the fetus, and thus the baby.

Is it morally wrong to do an action which will bring harm to an unborn baby? Really, do I have to
answer that? How could it not be, unless you are surethat you will abort the fetus? And what would
make you sure of that latter?

Let me make it clear: research strongly supports that there is a good chance that drinking, to any
extent, during pregnancy, will harm the fetus, particularly neurologically. Don't do it. Period.
