Womens Health Care

What is is about women allowing men to control their healthcare? Men who cut off breasts, cut out babies, remove uterus's, slice perineums, give drugs that are dangerous, use us as lab rats for procedures,show disdain for our emotions and simply see us as non important in the whole scheme of things?
Women have over the last 100 years bought into so many practices that its amazing we havent been exterminated by now. Drugs that damage us and our children, surgeries that are unnecessary except for being the biggest cash cow a hospital has and Women allowing themselves to be used for profit and for experiments.
Its time for women to STOP seeing Men as Experts in their bodies.

Midwifery prosecution

A new blog

I wanted to create a blog about midwifery in the south. Sadly I am in a state that ignores a law allowing DEM to practice. They simply deny women the right to choose a midwife for their homebirth. Even worse is the state medical system treats CNMs who are practicing in the hospitals little autonomous privileges.
I want to write about my births, the brave women who allow me to attend their homebirths, the amazing assistants who help out AND talk about the incredibly anti woman state i live in.
