Wisdom from Ina May Gaskin ~

"When you destroy midwives, you also destroy a body of knowledge that is shared by women, that can't be put together by a bunch of surgeons or a bunch of male obstetricians, because physiologically, birth doesn't happen the same way around surgeons or medically trained doctors, as it does around sympathetic women." 

Ask me for strength and I will lend not only my hand, but also my heart. ~ Unknown
