Why is it that whenever I read an article (such as this one) that mentions "birth defects" as a result of some drug or other factor, it never specifies what KIND of defects? Are we talking about a relatively mild condition that can easily be remedied by modern medicine, or a truly life-altering tragedy? In other words, what kind of cost-benefit analysis is being applied in terms of danger to the mother if she DOESN'T take the substance, vs. potential and degree of danger to the baby if she DOES?
