As far as the effect on child bearing women, perhaps, you are thinking of Thalidomide?
It is interesting that the female doctor who kept it illegal in the United States recently passed away. We did have several severely deformed babies born in the US the mother's took a drug that they got illegally.
My view, similar to driving drunk a too common issue. You have every right to drive drunk if, it only means that you will drive into a wall and kill yourself. The problem is drunk drivers too often kill others. That is the reason why the choice they make is wrong. Truly, it is simple.

I did not know Thalidomide was illegal in the US. So many posters on social media use that drug as an example of how unknown side effects of drugs can be disastrous. Thank you for enlightening me.
EDIT:......just now read that Thalidomide was given to 20,000 Americans in two clinical trials. The drug never was approved by the FDA.
