Hypocrisy on Abortion?

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.

It's called punishing people for a crime. Willingly ruining a human's life is a crime. That's why we also "dictate" what humans are allowed to put in their body before getting into their car. Or how we "dictate" what small children have to put into their body to not get terrible diseases and infect others.

Allowing everything or nothing isn't the debate here. There obviously have to be rules that need to be enforced. It's called "society". That is, if laws make any sense and are meant to protect people, which the recently updated abortion laws are not.
