[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP. Doesn't look like conspiracies. Looks like analysis.[/quote]
Analysis cites evidence. This is an op ed. All she has are ACOG decision papers. The guidelines changed because of scientific evidence that showed women’s labors have gotten longer since the 1950’s when Friedman’s curve came out and they need more time to push. But those insidious midwives, they want women to be botched and babies to die! Amazing how much sway they have when their profession is near extinction level. And how comforting the thought that OBs are just mindless robots following ACOG guidelines and denying women csections and causing all this death (except the cs rate has barely budged a fraction of a percentage in the US and yet maternal mortality has risen alarmingly).[/quote]

midwives/natural birthers don't want women to die. but they seem to be motivated by an ideology rather than science (despite all the claptrap about "evidence-based birth.")[/quote]
I think midwives are motivated by their [b]clinical observations[/b] of women experiencing less harm and trauma and they and their babies having the same or better outcomes when they receive adequate labor support, customized care, and a least-invasive labor management approach.[/quote]

Clinical observations =/= sound scientific evidence.[/quote]
