Comments on: Speech to the MBC, April 2005 http://theexcellentadventure.com/elementalmom/2006/01/27/speech-to-the-mbc-april-2005/ Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:23:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Margaret http://theexcellentadventure.com/elementalmom/2006/01/27/speech-to-the-mbc-april-2005/#comment-84 Margaret Sat, 11 Feb 2006 21:48:00 +0000 http://theexcellentadventure.com/elementalmom/?p=36#comment-84 Thanks for your humor and direct response to this very important issue. Fairly clear why it may not have been taken well---our safe base of "normal" is seldom shaken without quivering ourselves. I am a nurse-midwife in Ohio with extensive home birth and hospital birth experience, and it is refreshing when someone speaks the truth, and even moreso when they receive the services so due them. Best wishes! Margaret Thanks for your humor and direct response to this very important issue.

Women don't have to be patsies and victims nearly as often as they're assumed to be. You made that very clear here. Rock on!

By anyone. Pissed off the midwives, the regulators, and the OBs unilaterally. Which means, of course, I did my job. =) Not well. By anyone.
