[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Home birth PP here. That said, the viciousness with which she was then attacked while mourning her baby is really disturbing. And sadly unsurprising.[/quote]

Agree. After all, babies also die (as do mothers - we have an astronomical maternal death rate!!) in the hospital.

There are psychos lurking on every corner of the internet ready to be outraged at anything.  This is not specific to the "free-birther" or any other movement.  Every day, there is another story about another person who received threats and horrible messages from psychos on the internet.

There are idiots everywhere.  Some decide to go crazy over free birth.  Some decide to go crazy over anti-vaccination.  You name it, there is an extremist, idiot group about it somewhere.  There is no shortage of stupid people who overreact and no shortage of crazy people who will harass them about it on the internet.

It's the downsides of the internet.  Getting crazy people together is one of them.  Giving psychos a way to harass from afar is another.
