I had a nice interview with Mom Blogger Gemma from Sofia Says Blog. She gave birth for the first time two months ago in a complete unassisted childbirth after doing her own prenatal care.
Go HERE to listen to the podcast!
Thanks for your time Gemma!

“Wow. What a hateful, ignorant, paranoid woman.” And yet another dump on me for my heartfelt political views – http://t.co/hVMJVHYKQB

So I confess to using a comment style in chat rooms and blogs that tends to make people want to kill me…

Or at least want to send me packing as the most divisive troll on the web…
A warning from the gals at Segullah – on A Bleeding Heart: http://t.co/JdJOT5XLPv

Most of the time when chatting with the well heeled, well coiffed, just a tad too educated and credentialed to be patriotic, smart set of mormondom I am simply given a “gentle” reminder…
Below are our commenting guidelines, just as a gentle reminder:
1. The aim of Blog Segullah is to highlight a variety of women’s perspectives within a framework of shared beliefs and values. Commenters need not be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but a general respect for religious belief is required.
2. No insults. Critiques should address the argument, not the person.
3. No excessive diversion (or creating a threadjack) from the intended subject of the author.
Comments which violate these standards may be removed at the discretion of the blog editors.
You can decide for yourselves if I was breaking any of those rules with my two comments.
Here is the conversation I had with the author of the piece.

I seriously question the “honest desires and good intentions” of some of the leaders of the ordain women group: http://jennyhatch.com/2013/10/06/my-thoughts-on-the-ordination-of-women-in-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints/Jenny

Jenn Hatch-
you are welcome to question their actions- that’s a typical reaction- but what I’m asking is to see people first. From those I know and have had true conversations with- I can’t do anything but love them. Same goes with those I know that have spoken against it. I know them and I love them. They have good desires and intentions as well, but might have not seen the people as people. People first. Most everyone I’ve ever met never deliberately seeks to do harm.
I don’t ever want to cast a stone, or pick at the mote in someone else’s eye when there’s a beam most likely lodged in my own.”
I responded to Sandra with a comment that was pulled. I basically told the intellectuals of Segullah that I hated Feminism and loathed Mormon Feminists.
The reason I started my own blog is because I have continually been chased out of chat rooms whenever I begin to expose the various agendas tied to certain systems of thought control in our society. In this instance, Feminism was the issue.
I continue to struggle to find the language that will allow me to comment without getting banned or deleted, but it is obvious that I have not found that “well modulated tone”.
My sisters at Segullah are like those on the Titanic who were straightening deck chairs as the ship sunk into the ocean.
Western Civilization is imploding in front of our eyes, the enemy is at the gate, or at least in the instance of the Ordain Women crowd – at the door of the Conference Center (where Heavenly Father greeted them with Hail) and all these boobs can do is attempt to shut me out of the conversation.
That’s cool. I know my writing style is not for everyone. And if the ladies who lunch and chat up a storm on the web about how we can be better mothers while leaving the littles in the care of a sitter while they give each other Mother of the Year Awards don’t want me crashing their party, hey, it is no skin off my nose.
I have never fit in with the well mannered Mormon Mommy crowd and probably never will.
But I know what sort of a future I want for my daughters and grand daughters.
And I will continue to speak, yell, write, and expose no matter who gets offended.
It’s what I do.

I was so pleased to have Birth Educator and Founder of Ancient Art Midwifery Carla Hartley on my Radio Show! Here is the complete interview.
And a ten minute You Tube Clip:
To listen to another one of Jennys Interviews with the movers and shakers of Birth Activism Click HERE for her interview with Laurel Wilson, author of Your Best Birth Ever!
Did you listen to the show with Carla?
What do you think about what we said?
I purchased the Kindle Version of Jennifers Book last week and finished reading it late last night. 
The various companies that Margulis whacks in this expose get a well deserved spanking for putting profits ahead of the well being of American Families.
With chapters devoted to Pregnancy, Birth, Breastfeeding, and Newborn care Jennifer cuts through the marketing facade of Ultrasound Technology (tying it to Autism), Baby Formula, Plastic Diapering, and more to help parents see where current medical practice and its dubious ties to various money making schemes are more about profiteering off of the wombs and ignorance of the American People than about the health of mothers and babies.
A devastating chapter on Vaccines outlines the fact that many vaccine researchers and even some pediatricians and nurses do not allow their own children to be vaccinated.
Taxpayers who fund so much of this current insanity through government programs would do well to read this excellent book to see just where all of their hard earned money is going.
Although I am a free market capitalist and would like to see all government money removed from the Health Care system, I applaud Jennifers excellent expose’ as a great place for parents to begin when deciding how and where the family budget will be divided when it comes to living a healthy family life.
My long term readers know that I walked away from Allopathic Birth in 1994 after the birth of my third child. Many families are paying out of pocket for Midwifery, Chiropractic, Naturopathy, Homeopathic, Massage, Nutrition, and Herbal instead of the Drugs and Surgery of the American Birth Machine.
You do have a choice and a healthy alternative from current medical dogma.
Ultimately parents themselves will have to decide if they want to spend their hard earned dollars and precious time dickering with a broken maternity system.
I am pleased to announce Shannon Mitchell will be my guest this morning on the radio show.
Shannon is a homeschooling mother of four and married to Brian, who sometimes thinks he is married to the birth world. As an advocate for women’s births, Shannon has served as a doula, childbirth educator, lactation counselor and is currently undergoing a midwifery education at AAMI.
She formerly served as the Information Services Director for 5.5 years at ICAN, the Vice-President of the renewed Florida Friends of Midwives, and a recurring sponsor of the VBAC Summit. She regularly speaks around the nation about supporting pregnant women, expectations in birth, changing the current birth system and supporting normal birth in every setting a woman chooses with whomever she chooses.
Shannon founded birthaction.org and birthaftercesarean.com to help create a place for aggregating information from other websites specifically to collaborate within the birth world to bring out the best information possible from all sides and give women a place to use their voices.
