It really was profound, but what I didn't share is my daughter had preeclampsia-- and it could have gone a very different way. On my way to the hospital I was very frightened for her and the baby

To me, a beautiful birth reinforces the need to get back our reproductive rights, so every child is wanted, and as many woman as possible are able to break out of standard birthing positions, to promote comfort and mother/baby bonding, reduce cesareans, reduce maternal death and disability the world over. To support those who don't wish children, to give complete maternal and moral authority to women.

To let women decide what is right for them.

And get those disgusting laws off our bodies.
