It is so wonderful that we have such a collective of passionate intelligent women in here! I LOVE IT!

I would just like to reiterate - this isn't about seeing Dr P's side of the story. It's not about sides. This man is making statements that are contrary to evidence. He is stating his opinion.
My beef is that many women who are seeking information will come across his opinion and mistake it as fact simply because the author is an obs.

Just an aside - this man is not tongue in cheek he believes he needs to lead the birth process. Yep okay there are women who will make an informed choice to have this type of care - that's what choice is about. I am all for choice.

Again, my concern is that his opinion is being taken as fact when it is not and women who are not quite as assertive will not question the validity of his statements.

This is why I believe his website is not at all helpful to birthing women.
