    The article is completely bias. They didn't even bother with statistics.
    They didn't mention the majority of babies born at home safely and happily. It's really unfair and uneducated.

    I think that is the worst article I have ever read. There was so little actual information I am amazed it was published.
    I am not someone who would opt for a homebirth myself but all I am left with are questions that the writer obviously didn't think were important enough to cover.

    How many babies died in hospitals since July? How many healthey babies were homebirthed in that time? How did those homebirthed babies die? Could anything have been done about the stillbirths "at the hands of doulas" or would they have still been still births in a hospital? Was the stillbirth in the home VBAC actually due to a rupture, or was that just thrown in for fun to scare people about VBAC too?

    Lets just hope that the general public who read the article are intelligent enough to see it for the piece of rubbish that it is!
