Another thing that’s a mile away for many people is…the hospital! You know, in case you need it, in the unlikely event that your otherwise healthy pregnancy takes a bad turn at the very end. There it is, just a mile (or two) away.

ACOG’s statement seems to assume that, in (the very unlikely) case something does go wrong, the mother is “stuck” at home, with no access to emergency care. That certainly is not the case for the majority of people in this country, who live in relatively densely populated areas.

2) Also… how many labors/deliveries go bad because said, “professionals” help women to get pregnant whose bodies simply can’t support a pregnancy? These women who use every medical technique to get themselves pregnant, despite the fact that their bodies are trying to tell them that it’s not a good idea? (While how many children are in the foster system and need homes?) Then they give birth prematurely, and have all sorts of crazy complications, and the doctors act like that’s “normal”. I think they’ve forgotten what normal IS!
