It's nice to see someone taking a stand on this issue again. Giving birth has taken such backwards strides in the last 25 years... it sickens me to think of how casually people refer to 'cesareans' as 'normal' ways of having a baby.
It's all messed up... and turned completely upside down. Surgical deliveries should be the rare thing, not the norm...
Mothers, PLEEEEEEEASE retake control of your bodies and your babies!!!
((And as a random, aside thought: Could there possibly be a connection in the skyrocketing rate of ADD, ADHD, and autism to the rates of medicated births in this country? Think about it!))

I look forward to watching the webcast! This book was definitely an eye-opener for me and I think all women should join this movement.
