63. My friend's mother was an alcoholic when he was born.
Edited on Wed Jan-05-05 10:16 AM by AP
He probably had alcohol in his blood.

Should he not have been born? Should his mother have been criminalized?

They were a very nice middle class white family. He's the oldest of five and says his mother drank through all her pregnancies.

The family had problems, but they loved their kids -- all of them, and the world's a better place because they're all in it.

Society doesn't guarantee you perfect parents, but it should try its hardest to make sure that imperfect families don't have a harder time raising their families, especially when they have other problems.
