Ricki Lake Birth Documentary - The Business of Being Born

I am a Girl and After Watching that Documentary I am making DAMN sure I am NEVER having Kids...HOLY CRAP!!

i believe 'interventions' during labour should be done only when 'necessary' NOT because of hospital routine or to avert risk. midwife lead obstetric care has been proven to be CHEAPER AND provide BETTER health outcomes for babies and moms.

I not only support a public insurance option for U.S. health care, I demand it! NO COMPROMISES!!

It should be mandatory for all congress & senate members to watch 2 movies during the August recess: Michael Moore's Sicko & Ricki Lakes "The Business of Being Born."

Just like the real issue of manmade global warming, the issue of heath care reform is being attacked with lies from fascist corporate shills, & repeated by the brainwashed masses who hear the BS aired on Fox News.

medical school....I guess they and their babies all died....I'm not completely against medical care, but find it weird how we had a natural design that we are constantly being told that it's not "good" enough...matter of fact, we are being told that we cannot function AT ALL....there is something wrong with that

So...what you are saying basically that as women, who were CREATED to give birth WITHOUT medical intervention (yes because doctors believe it or not are not the creators of our bodies, they did not come up with this wonderful machine we have), we don't know how to do what was naturally given to us to do??? What occurred to the women of old and ancient times who never had a doctor or a nurse or a blah blah blah and only had access to midwives who by the way didn't go through several years of
