Finding Paragraph #2

An everlasting problem in the world will always be the use of drugs. But and even bigger problem is the mothers that do drugs while their pregnant. Do people do this because the absence of education or intellectuality? Or do they really understand that the involvement of this negative activity harms the fetus? I know everyone sees this problem but nobody ever challenges this enticing topic. Marijuana better know as weed, stops the the oxygen supply to the unborn baby. Another drug called cocaine causes miscarriages, premature births, and placenta eruptions. Also along with those drugs there are two more called Heroin and Methane. Heroin causes the baby to be dependent on it; consequently, with out the drug the baby may have relapses. Methane on the other hand, makes the babies heart beat increase dangerously (American Pregnancy Association). These babies exposed to these drugs before birth also face an increased risk of  increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Yet theses effects sound every detrimental drugs does not greatly affect the babies life after its born. The greatest affects of drugs takes place within the womb (March of Dimes). Besides my suspicion on the mentality of people, I wondered  what happens to the mothers who uses the drugs. It turns out that these women that turn their  selfs in for help while pregnant is just instructed to receive counseling (Maternal Child Care). Is that a just consequence?
