Greetings,

I have seen recently several members leave the club. I do not know
exactly why but it maybe that I have deleted some offensive post that
had links to porn sites or that I posted some offensive messages
about controversial issues. Well people I have to tell you that
Midwifes do more than "CATCH BABUES". Many provide well woman
healthcare and annul exams as well as contraceptives for their
clients. In some areas of the world, they are the only source for
healthcare for hundreds of miles. Therefore, I am here to tell you as
I stated in the home page this club is an exchange of client services
and how we handle them. In addition, it is to enlighten or educate
others who want into this area of healthcare or to keep abreast of
what is currently happening in this area. I hope that my sharing of
such issues as "the Gag rule" and other legal stuff going on has not
turned many who I consider my peers against this club or me.

I would like to inform the club there is a call for action in the
area of AIDS prevention and treatment. We need your support not in
words or money (both are nice if you can do it)! However, please look
at this sites here and follow the directions to help inform our
leaders and the public at large about this Pandemic! This is the
Black Plague of the 21 Century! Infectious disease epidemiologists
concur that HIV/AIDS is still in its early and middle stages in most
countries and that without immediate large-scale action, the pandemic
will spiral further out of control. By 2010, it is estimated that
over 40 million children will be orphaned because of AIDS. Africa has
been most severely hit, but the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS in Asia will
increase total annual deaths in the 15-49 year-old Asian populations
by up to 40 percent by 2010. If this plague continues to spread at
the current rate, it will kill more people in the first ten years of
the 21st century than were killed in all the wars of the 20th century
combined.


A Physicians for Human Rights Project in coordination with Partners
In Health is promoting this project and I am making my voice heard in
an artistic way! Global AIDS Action Quilt Campaign for Health
Professionals Here is the URL

I also signed the petition at this URL

I know some will think this is off topic but I think NOT! We care for
women and families and this is an issue that we cannot hide our heads
and deny its existence, nor is this a subject about morality. But for
those who think its is a subject of morality I have this to say FIRST
HIV the virus that causes AIDS does not discriminate it is an equal
opportunity virus! Second for those who think it is a just end for
those who practice an immoral lifestyle (IV Drug use, promiscuous and
Homosexuality) the fastest growing group of AIDS cases is females 20
to 30 years old. Hums aren't those the average ages of our
clients?
Finally, I would rather see a sexually active child reduce exposure
to the virus, than a dead young adult. Condoms do save lives and
those lives of the families affected by this disease.

I will be posting more information about areas of HEALTHCARE that
affect our clients and our world as they present themselves. I am
back and searching the web for those of us who practice what we
preach. Our clients needs come before our wants! In a perfect world,
all children will have happy homes and loving parents. In a perfect
world we would not have abortions, in a perfect world woman would
have the ability to have a child when they want one and an income to
support them and the family. In a perfect world children would not go
to bed hungry or die from starvation. We do not live in a perfect
world! However, we can do a little here and there to make it
tolerable.
