Smoking while pregnant is a choice, raising a child in a house filled with 2nd hand smoke is a choice. Beating a child is a choice. Maybe not the best analogy, but far closer than yours. You are harming the child and know you are harming the child and still harming the child anyways. It's selfish.
And no I dont go around judging people, but if you admit something stupid like "ya I still smoke and am pregnant, does that make me a terrible person?" on a message board I will answer the fucking question.
And I would prefer you not tell me what I'm going to post next.
Women who feed their children junk food should learn to cook. Maybe.

I thought your point was risks for the child not a moral debate on what's a person's choice or what is not.
If your concerns are really about the child, then you would be more worried about an obese person, or someone with genetic disorders having a baby. Let's stop this false moralism then.
I don't particularly think any of these things are choices: being fat, having diabetes, being a drug addict.
And I'm not in a position to say who should or shouldn't have children. Because if I were, I'd say 99% of the population shouldn't.
As for being pregnant, I have no idea how that feels. Still, a man knows even less.
What I do know is how hard it is to quit smoking, therefore I do not judge anyone for failing at that.
Now, I'd imagine it'd be much easier for a pregnant woman to quit smoking if her partner did as well, and the whole environment would be smoke-free. Now I don't see anyone having at go at men for not "helping" their pregnant ladies quit.
I don't even have to begin explaining how beating up a child is a million times more damaging and wrong than having a few smokes while you're pregnant, do I? Honestly.
It's easy to judge and say smoking is a "choice" but deep down you know quite well it is not. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so fucking hard to quit.
