I read in the Enquirer yesterday (at the checkout line, LOL!) that Scientology requires a "silent" birth. The mother isn't supposed to be separated from the baby for the first day or so, and no one can talk to the baby for a certain period of time.
It seems to me this practice harms the attachment process, and for the sake of her baby, I hope she doesn't go through with this.
But he probably has a lot of power over her, and I'm not optimistic about that.
