And, I hate to say it, it seems like some midwives do, too. I can't help but wonder why that is. They aren't all men, so as much as I would like to blame the insensitivity and power trips on that irritating Y chromosome, that can't be the only answer. Is it the power itself? What is absolute power if not the power (or illusion of it, at least) over life and death? And as we all know, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I've put myself into a good position to have this child on my own terms, in my own time, but every time I read a BabyCenter or Mothering.com board I am appalled at how these women are being treated (more often that not, it seems) by their providers.
