Please share scientific evidence that PROVES families are better served economically, socially, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and hormonally by Hospital Birth.

As others have suggested above, the null hypothesis (the generally accepted truth) is that hospital/midwife births is wiser than freebirthing. I would argue as others have that the onus is on you to demonstrate that a birth without the help of obstetricians, nurses, midwives or doulas is better "economically, socially, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and hormonally" than hospital birth.

Oh and for the geneologists out there, as I said, I believe modernity (Living in large, filthy cities and being on the move) are some of the main reasons babies and mothers have died during births. As I said, go back two hundred years, and just look at your own family. My great, great grandmother in Michigan gave birth to fourteen children in her farmhouse.

1) Is there any evidence that living in large, filthy cities and being on the move are primariliy responsible for babies and mothers dying during birth?
2) If you go back two hundred years, you will likely see the use of doctors, nurses, midwives, doulas, etc. - not freebirthing.
