FAS is no respector of persons or culture. It crosses economic and racial lines. I ask that no fingers be pointed at any person for this affliction. I ask for forgiveness from the past. I ask for a resolution of personal responsibility from this day forward for even one child to be saved.
Today is a day of knowledge.
If a woman consumes 2 drinks in one hour, her baby could have a blood alcohol content higher than the mother could. If a woman becomes pregnant, she shouldn't drink. It's that simple. There is no known safe amount of alcohol for a pregnant woman. When a woman drinks, her baby drinks, because alcohol passes directly through the placenta to the baby.
