If you go to that website they have one of those poxy polls.
The question is
Do you think Caesarean section is
overused?
85% have answered yes!!

Hi All
Just to let you all know 60 Minutes is doing a
segment on the rise in caesarean section rates and particularly the increase
of post c/s hysterectomy.
I was asked to appear in my capacity as MC
Pres and as a Mum choosing a very different birth option.
I was
careful as to what I said. The Q�s were all in response to C/S and
none about my experience sadly, they wanted me to �blame women� of which I
did not, but tried to focus on the poor support and general societal issues
etc.
What is most significant is they have included footage from my
latest birth (courtesy of Nic Edmonstone�s wonderful work). I believe
there�ll be 50 seconds of the birth and I hope the pictures literally speak
1000 words! There is also to be footage of a C/S.
I ask
that everyone e-mail 60 minutes with short succinct letters, particularly
highlighting how our broken maternity system could be fixed. If there
is a good response they should feature 2 letters (usually only 1 per
segment) .I will remind everyone after the show!
I have worked very
hard to get the best out of this story (5 hours assisting them with their
research!!) but they are interviewing Molloy! Who knows he might be so
outrageous he will shoot himself in the foot.
Any way hope you can
tune in
Justine
