When a women drinks during pregnancy she is exposing them to possibly paying the price in the future for her own actions.

How it gets into a babies system
This is a picture showing that whatever you consume, so does your baby. Alcohol or drugs can affect your child. There is no treatment for FAS because it's brain damage.
Not real but close enough
This is a picture is a pretty good example of what is happening inside after drinking while pregnant. The alcohol crosses the placental barrier which creates facial stigmata. It can also affect the brain structure, neurons, and can cause behavior problems. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is a severe form of FASD.
The cost your child faces
Abnormal face features: such as smooth ridge between the nose and upper lip, shorter than the average height, small head size, and weight problems.
