That requires a connection between unhealthy/unfit mothers and the likelihood of having children with "birth defects." That is sometimes the case and sometimes not, depending on the particular problem.

Do you really need to see data that proves women who spend their money on vitamins and doctor visits, as opposed to booze and crack, have healthier babies before you believe there's a correlation?
Edit: And it doesn't even have to be booze and crack...it can be anything the individual deems more important than health and hygiene. Said individual isn't going to have a healthy child if they sit in a chair eating Big Mac's all day either. Remember, over 32% of the American population is now considered obese.
