My "Birth Is" article was quoted in a piece in Sydney's Indi Media online news. In her opinion piece "Support for Hombirth", Helen Lobato wrote:
I'm flattered that someone out there read something I wrote and thought it was valid enough to include in their own writing about birth. My only minor disappoint is that I was not referenced in full, so anyone who might have wanted to read the full piece my words came from would have to do their own reserach rather than quickly referring to the references.
It's fantastic to see the issue of homebirth and government regulation of homebirth gaining attention in circles beyond birth activist blogs, forums and email lists. Thanks for spreading the word, Helen.
"Sarah, a feminist mum describes birth in our society as ‘a snapshot of our violent culture more generally. She talks of the societal crisis of drug use, explaining that the vast majority of births also involve drug use and highlights the fact that almost 100% of women give birth according to ‘expert’ advice rather than trusting themselves."
