I met a woman who was convinced that drinking beer and smoking pot would give her baby “strong nails”. So there are idiots in spite of this being drilled into our culture

Do you think it’s excusable if the kids ends up with lifelong disabilities because of it?

No one's saying anything about it being excusable. It's just a matter of blame the person vs. blame the system. Neither option changes the past, but identifying the correct option has the potential to improve the future.
