Pro abortion or not

And if she doesn't care about it's wellbeing, and indeed there are complications both in and post birth as a result?

Then she and the child will face challenges. I only hope that this hypothetical mother and child duo have the loving support of others to surround them.

Is it fair to classify the (un)intentional impact (such as, perhaps, disability) of ignorant and stupid behavior on the part of the woman against a child that has no ability to voice an objection as a 'challenge'? These could be life altering complications that the mother has willingly decided to impose on her child. Ignorance can be an excuse in some cases (thalidomide), but in cases of, say, drug use it can only be selfishness.

Would you advocate the arrest of a woman who it could be proved harmed their foetus by (for example) smoking and the removal of that child once born from her care?

I'm simply voicing concerns here about the carte blanche of 'her body, her decision'. In most societies I'm familiar with we don't ascribe this position to every behavior, indeed, if we take the harm principle as one benchmark, a woman who harms her unborn foetus by engaging in a given activity is in violation of this principle and is just as guilty of abuse as a man who gives a child the back of his hand in anger. In this not the case?

What if they don't have a loving family to support them? Surely if it's 'her body, her decision' for the entirety of child rearing then a loving family should be superfluous?

I appreciate your thoughts.
