Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not only likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but tends to also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. Nobody wants to see their newborn experiencing alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their substance abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant removed from their care because they couldn't quit.
