I am a sentient, intelligent person, in a pluralistic and democratic society, and I firmly believe that every woman has absolute authority over her own reproductive process. I do not believe that pregnancy and birth are frightening biological anomalies. I believe that there are far too many dangerous and routine medical procedures done in hospitalized childbirth that harm women and babies. I believe in the sanctity of birth, and the trustworthy functioning of women's bodies. Women have the right to refuse interventions and procedures they feel are detrimental to their birth processes or babies.
Babies have the right to be born gently, without fear, trauma or pain.
Childbirth is a private, and not a public, affair. It is every woman's right to give birth wherever, however, and with whomever she chooses. Women have the right of genuine informed consent, and access to all recorded medical information. The rights of women are inalienable, and will not be interfered with by any government nor medical governing body. Leilah McCracken All of the material in this web site is copyrighted.
