It's going to take something huge,
as Marsden cites, in cases where midwives have risen. Guess the 31% cesarean
rate isn't high enough yet in the U.S.

I would personally like the docs to stop
talking as authorities of my profession – midwifery and obstetrics are
totally different professions – can you imagine OBs answering to heart surgeons?
Why should midwives have to answer to the OB GYN trade union, ACOG? It's

Well...I think Tina Cassidy's book is a strong contribution to birth, but I definitely see Tammi's point. I almost put the book down after the chapter where...
Tammi, I hadn't read that article until you posted it. I don't know if the quote was taken out of context, but it does sound uncharacteristic of the articles...
One last Tina Cassidy comment! Before I read her book I read a piece she wrote in the NY Times called "Birth, Controlled" and LOVED it. She really hit the nail...
