Putting this in the Occupy Everywhere because it has a lot to do with the medical-industrial complex and co-opting childbirth as a profit center. Maybe there should be an "Occupy For-profit Medicine" board!
Is there a group or organization like the Chicago Maternity Center supporting home births in Sonoma County?

“In the hospital you’re on duty for 8 hours and if you get into trouble they’ll come and help you out. If you’re out in the district, you know, you sit there for 24 hours if they’re in labor and you really learn about labor. You learn all the physiology of childbirth and you have to know that and know it well before you can really apply your obstetrical knowledge and manage and deliver a baby properly.”---Dr. Beatrice Tucker 1897-1984.

Without new life, there would be no humanity. None of our human accomplishments, whether for good or for ill would be possible.
But if there were a Nobel Prize for Obstetrics, Dr. Beatrice “Tucks” Tucker (photo on right) and her longtime partner Dr. Harry “Bennie” Benaron would have won one as leaders of the Chicago Maternity Center.
The Chicago Maternity Center grew out of the Maxwell Street Dispensary founded in 1895 by Dr. Joseph DeLee to provide free obstetrical care for indigent women while training doctors in the latest methods of safe delivery. Financial problems caused to DeLee to reorganize the Dispensary in 1931 and rename it the Chicago Maternity Center. From 1932 until its doors closed in 1973, the Chicago Maternity Center was one of finest obstetrical facilities on the planet.
