prepare to be blasted

have any of you heard the new big hoopla?

well, the hoopla in my world at least.
what i'm about to talk about isn't something that i've talked about on here before. mainly, because i havent felt like i had anything to add.
but, now i can at least give my support and say a few things.


but i'm getting ahead of myself

this link will get you up to par with what is going on

ACOG VS. Midwives

and here

its all about the money

basically.
the american medical association wants to make it ILLEGAL to give birth to your child anywhere but a hospital. TOTALLY ASS BACKWARDS ON THE FREE CHOICE FRONT. and actually went so far as to say that woman who choose to give birth this way are putting their desires over the health of their baby and that it should be considered CHILD ABUSE TO HAVE A HOMEBIRTH
oh and this!
no insurance for women who've had a c-section

i mean seriously? seriously?!
im spittin' mad people. SPITTIN'. MAD.

what else can i say that these brilliant women haven't already?

what i will say is i have NO problem with a woman choosing to give birth in a hospital. its your choice, if it is your choice. im not one of those people look down on women who give birth in the hospital. not at all. that isn't even what this is about. great i say, its what you want to do. what i am saying, is that, who the fuck are these people telling women who choose not to give birth in a hospital that they are not allowed?! and even go so far as to try and make it CRIMINAL

medicine is taking some giant steps backwards.
