Thanks for posting this Tania,
I wrote straight away, my heart pounding with anger over what women are losing.
Below is my response,
Megan
 
Birthing Rights,
(Advertiser 13/11)
Dr Mudge says "Women are the innocent victim in all this,".
Too bloody right we are.
Not because of the difference of opinion between Midwives and Obstetricians, just a pure lack of the medical model of birth giving women accurate information and allowing them to make true informed choice.
I have given much of my time listening and talking to women about their birth experiences, including birthing three children myself. There is so much miss-information out there and women are making choices based on this that will effect them for the rest of their lives.
Of course we should be able to birth how and where we feel safe, but this should not be forced on us due to anothers mistrust of the birthing process.
If Dr Mudge is advocating choice, I hope he is also willing to throw his support behind women who choose to birth at home.

Oh  boy, you have to check this one out.  An official response from the Maternity Coalition or CARES perhaps?
