Win a Copy of the DVD That Every Woman Should See

Did you know?

APPALLING FACT: The US has the second highest infant mortality rate in the developed world.
APPALLING FACT: In the US, midwives attend about 1% of births (in the rest of the world, it is about 70-80%.) There is a connection – and mainstream medicine is missing it, to our great detriment.

Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein’s documentary, The Business of Being Born, is an eye-opening expose of how years of (mostly male-driven) American medical tradition, and the commercialization of health care has effectively veiled women from their natural abilities and wisdom. We are vastly unaware of our choices, our power, and the damage that unaware birthing is doing to our psyches and our social well being. It’s not about right or wrong, homebirth vs. C-sections, it’s about knowing the potentially positive and negative effects of every option.

Every woman should see this film – whether they’re planning to have children or not. This is about shifting a soul-killing paradigm that is gripping our mainstream culture. We have more power than we’re being lead to believe, and claiming it could make the difference between life and death.
