I'm sorry, but this makes no sense whatsoever and there's absolutely no data to back up this kind of outlandish claim. To the contrary, there's lots of information to show that common birth experience has no bearing on warfare or society.

There are plenty of cultures in the world today that don't use medications during childbirth and have at home births. We can look at tribes in the Amazon or the South Pacific, and one of the common traits that they all have is that they all practice warfare on outsiders. Past cultures have been, if anything, more violent than our own, and the vast majority of them did not use any chemicals during the labor or delivery processes.

I can also make the arguement that there evidence that makes such a claim laughable by pointing out that these chemicals were very prevalent from 1960-2000, which was a comparatively peaceful time in the world.

You're really going to have a long way to go to convince anyone that freebirthing is going to lead to any sort of societal changes like you're projecting. Otherwise, it's just another outlandish Chicken Little claim.
