Hypocrisy on Abortion?

A baby also can't survive via it's own power (it will die rather quickly without somebody taking care of it)...so I don't think that should have anything at all to do with the argument.

It is also a fine line saying the mother can do whatever she wants to her body. So if a mother decides to continue drinking absurd amounts of alcohol, and the baby comes out extremely messed up, you have no issue with this right? After all, it was her body and she had the right to drink like that. The fact that the child will now have a crappy life with many issues due to this isn't the mother's problem.

A solution for this would be mandatory screenings and subsequent abortions for seriously damaged fetuses. I doubt a mother who doesn't take care of herself would want a disabled kid anyway.

So now you are going to force the abortion of damaged fetuses? You are once again dictating what the mother has to do with her body...which seems to be people's entire problem with not allowing abortion in the first place.

I'm putting a scenario out there where the mother absolutely decides she still wants the baby. So nobody can tell her she can't have it, and nobody can tell her she can't drink during pregnancy cause that is her choice. Baby is born disabled, that absolutely just became the mother's fault for directly causing a person to have to live their whole life with a disability.
