Unassisted Birth
Is It for You?
By Shel Franco

Expecting Andrew in 1996 – Jenny with Michelle, Allison, and Jeffrey
“Women today seem to fall into two categories where childbirth is concerned: medically managed or natural. The first group wouldn’t think of delivering their babies any place but the hospital. The second sweetly chants, “There’s no place like home.””
…”Sacred Action
Jenny Hatch of Boulder, Colo., gave birth to her son, Andrew. She recalls how she danced and sang through the three-hour labor. “I had no physical pain before, during or after the birth and never used any form of pain medication,” she says.
Hatch, organizer of the second International Husband/Wife Homebirth Conference, delivered her 11-pound son into the waiting arms of his father.”
…”Hatch still believes in childbirth as a normal, non-agonizing, natural act, and that’s something every woman could benefit from, whether she births at home or in a hospital. Replacing the fear with faith just might deliver women from the throws of childbirth agony and into the open arms of the miracle they helped to create.”

The Big Black Book of Saddam’s Horrors
For our friends on the left who believe Iraq was better off with Sadaam in power…

Quote:
“Le Livre Noir de Saddam Hussein (The Black Book of Saddam Hussein) is a robust denunciation of Saddam’s regime that does not fall into the trap of viewing everything in Iraq through a US-centric prism. The writers – Arabs, Americans, Germans, French and Iranian – have produced the most comprehensive work to date on the former Iraqi president’s war crimes, assembling a mass of evidence that makes the anti-intervention arguments redundant.
“The first weapon of mass destruction was Saddam Hussein,” writes Bernard Kouchner, who has been observing atrocities in Iraq since he led the first Medecins Sans Frontieres mission there in 1974. “Preserving the memory of the arbitrary arrests that Saddam’s police conducted every morning, the horrible and humiliating torture, the organised rapes, the arbitrary executions and the prisons full of innocent people is not just a duty. Without that one cannot understand either what Saddam’s dictatorship was or the urgent necessity to remove him.”
