    “Even after a judge required ACS to reunite Ms. Rivers with her baby, ACS continued to subject Ms. Rivers to needless court proceedings and a litany of conditions that interfered with her parenting of TW for months, while the unlawful removal of her baby was ratified by senior ACS leadership,” the complaint reads. “This was not because ACS was trying to protect TW; this was because Ms. Rivers is Black.”

    The recommended maximum amount of alcohol while pregnant isn’t zero. 12g a day is what I’m seeing in a quick search. I’m sure Marijuana can be safe for the child below a certain level. This article doesn’t state any levels besides above zero, and it also doesn’t stare any defects caused by it. It does seem to imply no complications though.

      I would love to meet these pregnant women responsibly consuming 12g of alcohol and nothing more. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was some dumbass religious “but it’s communion so it’s ok” bullshit.

        Keep in mind, 12g of alcohol is not 12g of alcohol containing substance. Somewhere around 120-240g of beer should be perfectly fine, depending on the beer. About 1/4 to 1/2 pints per day. If you make that weekly it’s about a pint every other day or so.
