Free Birth: When Freedom Meets Biology - and Then Becomes a Cult
From the essay
When I talked to my friend Boris Petrikovsky, an OB doctor with huge international experience in the field, and he mentioned that he was writing about free birth, I thought he was talking about some organization that provides birthing services for free. Then he sent me the draft. It was about unassisted birth. Birth is not a slogan. Birth is not a purity test. Birth is biology. And biology does not negotiate with ideology. A woman deserves medicine that listens. But she also deserves a door that opens fast when nature stops being gentle. The baby deserves that too.
