Same drink to your day old baby or your toddler . We as a society have said that would be child abuse if you gave alcohol, but yet the connection from the mother through the placenta into the brain is a much direct connection during pregnancy than it is later on for babies and toddlers. I think we have to reframe the issue. There are studies that show that moderate amounts of alcohol can cause harm. So its nine months. I think that women should its nine months, not take the chance.

Originally given seven years for ratification. Congress reported to change the rules. I filed the first lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of that change of process on behalf of Washington State legislatures more than 30 years ago. We won that case. The rule was, you cant change the rules in the middle of the stream. If you have to have an agreement on the subject matter to start with and you cant change the rules in the middle of the stream, this fearmongering going from the extreme left and right is just nonsense. The power of the convention is no different than congress. You can call a convention for a particular purpose. Congress could propose amendments for a particular purpose. Just because Congress Proposes an amendment on minimum wage, doesnt mean the whole constitution suffers. You are a constitutional lawyer. How many times have you argued before the Supreme Court .
