Surprised not to find this mentioned on here (if only as a respite from the Pulis/Warnock threads).
As far as I know, there are very few things you can do to your own body that are actually a criminal offence. (With drugs, for instance, the crime is not taking them, but rather possessing them etc).
And yet the criminalising of women who drink during pregnancy To view the link you have to Register or Login The key issue is this : If (the foetal girl) was not a person while her mother was engaging in the relevant actions then... as a matter of law, her mother could not have committed a criminal offence.'' And presumably if the foetus is a person, then the mother was.
I am struggling to decide where I am on this. Perhaps the BBS knows?
