Fetal Alchohol Syndrome
Behavior: Behavioral problems are common with FASD-unsurprisingly, given the problems listed above with planning and with learning from bad experience. And since women with FASD are also often impulsive and may react without thinking, this can produce a horrendous vicious cycle in connection with their difficulty changing behavior once it has started. Consequently, women with FASD are often diagnosed with conduct disorder and/or oppositional defiant disorder and may have frequent run-ins with law enforcement as they appear to be willfully disobeying authorities and actively seeking repeat punishment. FASD also appears to make women more likely to lie; though whether this is simply because they are more likely to be caught doing so due to their other deficits is hard to tell.
Socialization: FASD also seems to produce difficulties recognizing social cues. Women with FASD often "can't take a hint," or recognize when others are suggesting something non-verbally. They may be overly demanding of attention and may lack empathy towards others. They also tend to be eager-to-please and easily lead, which means that if they fall in with anti-social peer groups, they may be preyed upon and pushed to commit crimes that they couldn't have engineered themselves. Girls and women with FASD also have a tendency towards sexual promiscuity, which may be linked both to their desire to please others and their impulsiveness.
Secondary Disabilities: As one might imagine from the litany above, being faced with FASD can be enormously difficult. Behavior that the woman has difficulty controlling can repeatedly get her in trouble with authorities-but she may not know what, exactly, she's doing wrong or how to behave differently. If the condition is not diagnosed early, damage to self-esteem from negative reactions by teachers and peers is extremely common as is sexual abuse due to high vulnerability to suggestion. Criminal convictions and other social consequences can often cause just as much damage as the early alcohol exposure itself. Some researchers estimate that 90% of women with FASD have at least one additional mental illness-frequently including severe depression-and it is hard to know how much of this is due to vulnerability of the brain due to early damage and how much is due to secondary effects of trying to cope with the condition.

Women with fetal alcohol syndrome face huge challenges.
Problems associated with fetal alcohol syndrome don't end when girls grow up. There are hundreds of thousands of women across the country affected by the disorder. They often have poor judgment and struggle just to survive.

Fetal Alchohol Syndrome
Physical birth defects: While the facial characteristics of full FAS are quite well known, prenatal alcohol exposure consistently leads to a number of other birth defects that are not as commonly associated with it in public perceptions. The kidneys and the heart are particularly susceptible as are the eyes and ears and their associated neural connections. Partial deafness and significant visual impairments are common. Balance and motor coordination are also often impaired.
Growth and Development: Girls with FASD tend to be born smaller and to grow much more slowly than other girls. Especially stunted is the growth of the head, which may remain significantly undersized even in adulthood. Some FASD women have heads the normal size for five year old girls.
Attention: Problems with attention are one of the defining characteristics of FASD. Such difficulties are so common amongst women with FASD that they are often misdiagnosed with attention deficit disorders. Unfortunately, the types of attention problems associated with FASD are not the same as those found in women with other attention deficits. Women with classic attention deficit disorder tend to have difficulty focusing and maintaining attention-while those with FASD have fewer problems with those skills, but more trouble shifting attention from one task to another (what researchers call "set shifting").
Cognitive/Learning: Even when it doesn't cause mental retardation, prenatal alcohol exposure can lower IQ and can also affect other aspects of learning. One of its key effects is to slow reaction time and reduce brain processing speed. Both of these affect overall intelligence by limiting the brain's capacity to take in information rapidly, particularly in a setting like an ordinary classroom. Women with FASD also have problems with verbal learning, although these are different from the types of problems seen with verbal learning in Down syndrome. FASD seems to affect people's ability to initially encode verbal information in memory-but once the information is encoded, recall is as good as for anyone else. With Down syndrome, both storage and recall are impaired. Women with FASD also have particular difficulty with learning spacial relationships between objects and with mathematics, deficits which may be connected.
Executive Function: One of FASD's cruelest effects is the way it affects executive function - the ability to plan for the future and to change behavior in response to the effects of previous actions. Women with FASD are often incapable of learning from experience and may repeat behaviors over and over despite negative results. They often cannot put together a sequence of actions in order to achieve a goal-for example, taking the steps necessary to do homework adequately or to pay a bill on time. This may in part result from their inability to shift attention well: they get "stuck" on certain things and cannot keep the whole process in mind while carrying out the steps needed to complete it.

The preservation of life seems to be rather a slogan than a genuine goal of the anti-abortion forces; what they want is control. Control over behavior: power over women. Women in the anti-choice movement want to share in male power over women, and do so by denying their own womanhood, their own rights and responsibilities. -Ursula K. LeGuin

A couple weeks ago Dan Rather did a documentary on how a handful of organizations forced unwed mothers to give their children for adoption. It aired on May 1st on HD Net.

http://www.hd.net/blogs/response-to-abducted-...

The spokelady for Catholic Charities went on record by saying "we had to keep our adoption business going."

Sure this is an account of how things were in the 40's and 50's. But, the fact is that organizations like the Salvation Army and the Crittenton Foundation had no choice but to jump in the proverbial "bandwagon," because society viewed an unwed mother as someone lower than the most vile peasant.

It's a pity to say that religious organizations in the U.S., mostly Christian (I refer to them as Xtians) and Catholic, still view unwed mothers that way. And these are the people who are commanded by their Jeebus to preach a gospel of peace and a kingdom of love.

I'm glad I'm Jewish and to me Jesus is no more than the bastard son of a woman who was raped. And I don't care who I offend with that statement.

I can't believe that so many women claim that they got pregnant by rape. If I remember correctly there is only about 12-24 hours a woman can conceive. For the people downing Mississippi, yall never have a problem taking our help after any kind of disaster or war.

And what help would that be? Y'all didn't offer any help after Andrew hit South Florida. But, how much did we send your way when many Mississippians were hanging from trees after Katrina!
