[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's post some articles on how many women and babies have died because they went to a hospital instead of staying home. I guarantee the number far exceeds the number mentioned in this article. Home births are always safer. Fact. Of course there are a few outliers for whom a hospital birth is necessary, but they're truly outliers. Most home births are safe and most are much safer than being in a germy money making hospital with dozens of hands in the pot, none knowing what the other is doing. Women, especially black women, die in hospitals every day. The United States has the WORST infant mortality rate of ANY developed nation, and we also have the highest rate of hospital births.

Also, it says she wasn't licensed IN THAT STATE, not that she had no training and wasn't licensed at all anywhere.[/quote]

Home birthers are stupid. It's dangerous and negligent. [/quote]

I didn't. New.poster there. This here is only my second post in this thread. I almost never resort to name calling, eben in retaliation. It doesn't advance discourse or help understanding.

And in calling people names and insulting them, you're ignoring relevant statistics.  That's not useful at all.

This is a bad situation.  A potentially bad actor (this midwife) conned ( or the mother herself let herself be conned,). 
But this is a separate issue from the existence of home birth in general.

Inany situation, there are always bad actors. Doesn't mean we throw up our hands and call the whole thing bad.

No one would ever fly in that case considering almost every plane crash is pilot error.

And you don't have to be a home birther to see their side of the issue. I'm not. [/quote]
