The one thing this has done for me is to convince me to make a web page.
Unfortunately, many young women, seeing that the first few pages on Google when you type in "freebirthing", are essentially all pages created by rather devoted advocates of this practice and are all obviously in favour of the practice without considering much of the science (or God-given common sense, but that's another issue).
What is needed is the "con" side of the argument to appear on the first couple of Google pages to offer a more balanced and objective perspective.
It should be pointed out, as I think this gets lost in the shuffle sometimes, that most people are not opposed to home delivery - but with a doctor, nurse or highly trained and licensed midwife in attendance. My own POV is that deliberatelty "going it alone", whoever you are, whatever your background, is inherently selfish and ill-considered, an attempt to find meaning in an otherwise meaningless existence.
