Yes - I did see it. Horrendous stuff as it really engenders fear for a lot of the population who have absolutely no understanding of the politics behing the situation. When is someone going to clarify that we are talking private practice here!! It is alarming to think that there are some who believe that birthing options are with either a private obstetrician or under a tree! No other options and totatlly black & white. Where is the responsibility of the media in all of this?
