That free birthing thing makes me really angry. But then I remember similar articles and debates around childbirth and breast feeding. The issue there isn't that Teh Ev0l state is interfering unnaturally in Natural Unharmful Women's Beautiful Natural Bodies during a time when historically fuck loads of women and babies DIE, it's that1) there aren't enough midwives to give home support and 2) newspapers present this kind of thing as an either/or debate. FTR, never had kids, but I have been in the delivery room three times and came horrifyingly close to losing a close friend another time.
