Holy fuck. This is so infuriating. Wow. Just wow. The fucking state at it again thinking they can own us and tell us what's best for ourselves. Which is so ironic because what they say it best for us it often toxic for us! This is one of many reasons women should NOT be giving birth in hospitals!
I agree, this was the conversation me and Kali had about this last night. This is one of those situations where there is a good opportunity for agorist midwives to start promoting home births, or maybe even do some next level shit and build some hippied out ranch where women could go to deliver holistically.
There are definitely birthing communities already out there, but we could use more for sure. I remember Jeanice Barcelo was wanting to start one. Though she's incredibly knowledgeable about this entire subject, I'm not a fan of her bitter energy, so not sure how supportive that would be. Either way, this is one of those areas more people who are have started to wake up, could stand to learn more. Thanks for sharing.
