Since we cant force people to get healthy they will be in our society with their addictions. Should they be punished for their crimes?

Depends on the crime, the motive and their state of sanity.
Generally, it's for a court to decide.

So then the woman that was taking meth, and killed her fetus is or is not liable for the death of the fetus? If your theory is that people that are in the middle of addiction are not responsible for their actions then that is pretty disasterous in multiple ways.

That's not my theory, and you're not interested in engaging with me in good faith, so good bye.
