As a follow-up to this discussion, I would like to caution any potential readers, other than those of us who have contributed to this dialog:
Dr. Tuteur has quoted and suggested many "facts" and "statistics" that largely have been baseless and without reference. Again, as I have suggested, as well as several others--don't take ANYTHING for face value--especially when statistics start getting thrown around.
This is not to say studies and articles like the one I initially reference by Ina May Gaskin are not valuable in relaying important information. But always check your facts. Cross reference numbers and statistics. Especially if you are in the position of being pregnant, and undertaking your due diligence regarding where, and with whom, you will birth your baby.
