‎"We must close union offices, confiscate their money and put their leaders in prison. We must reduce workers salaries and take away their right to strike.”

Scary, huh? Scarier still that it sounds like exactly what Walker is trying to do in our state right now. -

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.”

It's just life.

Birth is such a sacred, private event. We are privileged to be able to grow and release a human from inside of our very own bodies. I have come to believe that it is wrong to get together and talk shit about how someone decided to do one of the most important things in their life. So a woman had a birth with interventions? So she was uneducated about the process and her options? HELP HER.
Give her resources and strength and encouragement. Show her what it is that is worth striving for, what her body could do if only she knew.
Let her know the secret- We can do it. We are supposed to give birth, and if we succeed it is one of the most amazing, empowering, beautiful moments of our entire lives. Don't lie and tell her she did okay, and then go behind her backs to say how terrible she did.

Birth is not a competition.

A homebirth isn't any better than a hospital birth unless the mother perceives it that way.

The only failed birth is one that harms the mother or the baby (emotionally or physically) and that is never something to snark at.

Luna laughed. :)
