This movie has a hidden agenda
This is more liberal garbage coming from Hollywood. The movie is SUPPOSED to be about having a home birth but let's dissect it.
The title is "the BUSINESS of being born" and the movie goes ON AND ON about how hospitals are a business ( Really? AH, well, that's just WRONG, you should just GIVE things away, that's the ticket)how doctors charge several times more than a midwife, blah blah. Then they go on about how the US has more infant mortality than (fill in Scandinavian country here)what they fail to mention is that these countries don't have a lower rate of IM and a longer life expectancy because of their free healthcare (which has broken the economy of all Scandinavian nations including Sweden) it has a lot to do with the small size of the nation and the culture (read diet) Scandinavians have a much better diet than Americans and that is why they live longer and have healthier babies, that has NOTHIGN to do with free healthcare Scandinavians have been this way for centuries before free healthcare.
Did these people ever stop to think that the doctor costs (what 3 times as much) as a midwife because he or she has a much better education, more know how and better equipment than a midwife? That he or she is better qualified to deal with a difficult birth, or any problems that may arise, that their medical degree makes them better able to step in to save a mother or child's life (or both) if that need arises where a midwife would have to call 911 and get a doctor in the case of a REAL emergency?
Who ever said giving birth in a filthy plastic pool you filled with tap water while you moan naked in the kitchen is safer was a moron.
If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make it your signature!
