You're probably right. Most of the Midwives are a bit ...well...crunchy and progressive.
In Utah we have a Midwives with a more traditional view about the importance of life. I guess I've been fortunate. I did my homebirths back in the early 1980's. The direction of the country has changed a great deal since then.
I’m sure there are midwives everywhere who are competent and caring. It’s sort of like teachers: the organizations which “represent” them are hard-left, while most teachers are not.
I think people should be able to make the choices they think will work out best for them.
