Mom Jailed for Using Meth, Dope While Pregnant
Our Parents Behaving Badly week kicks off with…more druggie parents! Now, as I’ve made clear before, I’m not a “Just Say No” kind of guy. But if you’re going to use, there are certain guidelines you ought to follow. Like, oh, say, not ingesting any substances while you’re pregnant. Sadly, 26-year-old Stacey Sturdevant of Springfield, Missouri didn’t much care for that advice. She wasn’t gonna let some baby get in the way of her meth habit! Her reward for this stirling behavior: five years in jail. Oh, and her newborn is in state custody, natch.
I imagine I’ll hear an uproar not about how I dare judge this mom, who fell pray to “the ravages of drug addiction”. Whatever. Personal responsibility has to start somewhere. If her baby’s health had meant anything to her, she would have made quitting her priority. As it is, she decided to “quit” meth by smoking marijuana instead. For some reason, this didn’t work. So her baby ended up with both methamphetamine and THC in her system at birth.

I am so tired of these sicko losers getting pregnant, and having children! This is why abortion is legal. Sorry to say it, but some children are better off.

This sorry bitch is a loser. I’m glad she lost custody of her baby. She doesn’t deserve her. Maybe the baby will have real parents who will love her. I hope so.
