If these gals want to give birth at home against the doctors advice, then the more power to them! Unfortunately, I don’t think they will be able to sue the OB’s who have recommended otherwise—at least I hope not! I also hope they won’t be expecting the taxpayers to help with their babies who ran into trouble at home. Can we have all those moms sign on the dotted line? I thought not.
Look freeangel,
I pay my bills, don’t expect anyone to pick up the pieces of my life. 92% of homebirthers give birth at home with NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. You as a taxpayer should be much more concerned about our conversion to socialized medicine and paying for the abomination of hospital birth with all of its bells and whistles and useless interventions and protocols.
Talk about a straw man. The whole system is set up to rob families of financial solvency and use as many medical interventions as possible to cut and drug mother and baby from each other, when most women if properly trained and educated could easily give birth without the surgery. Some American hospitals have an 80% C section rate. Do you honestly think all of those surgeries are required for the health of the mother?
