Wow! All in CAPITAL letters, too! Ha. Don't take it to heart, Marie. How
many responses like this did you receive? A very small minority will always
oppose initiative, no matter how vital the initiative actually is.
Also, when someone is so angry, you must understand that they have a reason
for the anger. Understanding is what they need. They need to look within
themselves to see why they feel so strongly, but they may be too frightened
to actually do so.
Midwives do an amazingly positive job, in a society that is driven by
technology - technology that is often abused by people protecting themselves
from litigation. Defensive medicine is not good medicine... Thank God for
technology when it's needed, and thank God for faith in a woman's body to
birth without technology when it isn't needed.
Midwives are trained to deal without technology, as much as it is safe to do
so - where would we be without midwives, and without Obstetricians (when
they are needed). Thankyou to both professions! I, for one, recognise the
importance of each. Take care all,
Birthing Beautifully,
Jackie Mawson.

Too many Gods;
so many creeds,
Too many paths
that wind and
wind,
When just the art
of being kind
Is all the sad
world needs...
