Dammit, I was perfectly happy being a non-posting lurker of the forums. But y'all made me join just because of this thread.

This is not an issue of morals. This is an issue about truth and health. If you serve a pregnant woman alcohol, you are damaging her child. Period. Nobody can argue that. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is not a debate between Christians and Atheists. It is a cold hard medical fact that C2H5OH will permanently damage the brain of an unborn, developing child. If a woman, clearly pregnant, asked me to serve her a drink (even a single beer) I would refuse and give her a glass of water/sprite/rootbeer/milk on the house. No manager would fire me. Hell, if she got on my case for not giving her a drink, my manager would probably ask her to leave the establishment.

In case you're wondering, I'm not "pro-life" or "anti-abortion". If a woman makes a mistake and cannot support a child in her life, I fully believe that she has the right to get an abortion in the first trimester. But if she is planning on carrying the baby to full term, I will not be an accomplice to brain damage. She can be a menace to the human race somewhere else.
