Well there we have it, you agree as they are your personal feelings too regardless of any supporting evidence.
It was humiliating, and perhaps she wishes to highlight this to ensure another expectant mother isn't shown up by this pariah.

Like I said, if it was that humiliating she wouldn't be getting it broadcast to the whole world. Also, why do I need to back up my personal opinions with supporting evidence, the risks may be small, but a life of an unborn child is more important than a glass of wine.

You don't have to repeat yourself ben, you don't have to back it ... I already checked there is no evidence that 125ml pw of wine has ANY adverse effect on foetal development.
So where does the supposition come from that it does?
Ignorance.

No, not ignorance. Ignorance is saying that there is no evidence so it must be fine, even though there is still a lot of uncertainty on that area.

That is pretty fuzzy logic ben, there is no evidence to support that that level of consumption is unsafe, and and yet you suggest that it is still uncertain...
When will it be certain?

No, it is called playing it safe to the bundle of life that you are carrying and bringing into the world. And you worded your last sentence incorrectly, it's actually; there is no evidence to support that any level of consumption is safe.

No, It's called adhering to governmental guidelines which (once again) state that 1 125ml measure of wine per week has never been found to have any adverse effect on an unborn child.
I can't copy and paste but that is the information I've seen.
We all have our own opinions though, let's leave it.
