My mother was a doctor that spent a great deal of time with expectant mothers. Based on her limited but also extensive experience on the subject drug use by the mother caused a significant portion of the mortality in unborn fetuses. This was particularly seen higher in the minority population (Black, Native American, etc.) and she is frustrated when she sees all the statistics that racism is the only reason behind the minority fetal mortality rate being higher than for Caucasians. They don't ever account for decision making in those studies and even in this study I'm sure drug use is considered a "preventable condition".
