But what I do know is that I'm honest - you keep saying you're "done" and "finished here" yet keep coming back. Is going back on your word part of this freebirthing nonsense too?

I said I THOUGHT I was finished with this thread, especially since it is obvious you are more interested in talking about medical statistics related to babies who die during the first year of life rather than freebirth and wether or not we are "nuts". As the original poster, you said:
"Am I missing something or is this concept really defensible?"
I have been trying to explain to you the various different reasons that families get in to Freebirth.
Sorry for thinking you were female, it is difficult to determine who is male and female in this forum.

After reading the above I have a hard time taking you seriously as being "educated" in the classic sense and definition. Perhaps it is as hyperbole as your "murder" definition.
Furthermore, after thoroughly reading your website and other freebirthing websites, I stand in awe. Had it just been as simple as, "This is my choice for my body and my baby" without the rhetoric of Big Pharma and Doctors more intertested in playing golf, I think your movement would have had more support from those that don't understand nor subscribe to your viewpoints. To selectively expound on why the current medical industry with respect to birthing is flawed, and then not to wholly reject the whole system seems hypocritical. |
We accept the fact that some women will need c-sections. And are even grateful for the times when women really do get the true help they need during birth. I don't reject the whole system, I just reject the way that technology is god in birth.
You forgot to include the KICKER in my introduction to my dissertation.... in that portion you cut and pasted....and it is this:
What do those little letters mean?

"To me, the designation PhDMH is a very tongue in cheek attempt to quantify and validate the work we are accomplishing in our own homes. If reading this introduction to my Dissertation has given you a laugh and helped you to gain some perspective on the value of this important work, then I have accomplished my goal.

To get to my Dissertation simply click on this link below. This file is stored on my blog with pictures and video enhancement.
I have had mothers tell me that my Doctor in the philosophy of Motherhood line was a milk snort through the nose moment for them. Spill coffee on the keyboard, choke on breakfast laughing so loud.
It was meant to be humorous, and taken out of the humor context it does look a little silly.
Choosing to be a stay at home mother does tend to bring some condemnation from various circles in our society, and living in the one county in America that has more PhD's than any other place in the world, (Boulder County) the ivory tower is quite high and inpenetrable to those of us who have little more than a high school degree.
Whatever, I know what I am about. And now I believe we are really getting off topic talking so much about me and my sites.
