The CDC only very recently started recommending that pregnant women get the vaccine. Before the recommendation was to make it available, but it wasn't actually recommended or not to get it because pregnant women had been excluded from the trials.

They are potentially killing their fetuses by refusing the vaccination and need to be held accountable for child murder, no different than abortion. Ha, let the courts try to deal with that.
