Birth Rape – Calling A Spade A Spade
Warning – Graphic Images of Birth Rape are contained in this post. Those with weak constitutions may not want to view this post.
Birth is a sexual event.
Genitals are sexual organs.
WHEN SOMEONE VIOLATES THE SANCTITY OF THE BIRTH FIELD BY VIOLATING THE INTEGRITY OF SOMEONE’S GENITAL ORGANS –
THIS IS RAPE!!!
When a woman is forced to lie down with her legs up in the air in stirrups, spread wide for all the world to see, and strangers walk in and out of the room and promptly, presumptuously, repeatedly, and unnecessarily insert their invasive hands and instruments into her vagina during labor — THIS IS RAPE!
When a woman is physically restrained — with tubes or wires or cords or anything else — SOMETHING IS HAPPENING AGAINST HER WILL!
When a woman’s yoni is sliced open brutally and unnecessarily (episiotomy) due to habitual hospital protocol, THIS IS SEXUAL VIOLENCE!
When an infant baby boy is strapped down to a board and has a piece of his penis cut-off — without anesthesia and with absolute disregard to the extreme sensitivity and vulnerability of his being– THIS IS RAPE AND ONE OF THE MOST HIDEOUS FORMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE KNOWN TO HUMANKIND.
Let’s call a spade a spade. There is sexual violence occurring in hospitals everyday. Women and babies are being violated beyond our capacity to deal with it or even comprehend how dark it is. And fathers are going into shock at witnessing their partners and babies being abused and violated.
IT’S TIME TO SNAP OUT OF THE TRANCE!
IT’S TIME FOR AMERICANS TO WAKE UP!
Hospitals are dangerous and violent places to give birth. Unless it is absolutely medically necessary to give birth in a hospital, hospital birth should be avoided at all costs.

Thank you for creating this webside…I agree that birth is a secret moment, very intimate and holy…I notice a kind of bed trance of weman in my country treating hospital nonhospitality as ,,normal” in fact there is a rape in many cases…weman allow for it in a name of what?!!!!!!!!

Thank God this issue has finally come to the surface. the birth experience has become a dehumanizing, humiliating, cold experience that is far from the beautiful, peaceful, sexual, nature of the miracle of birth. It truly is a miracle, and we are being robbed of experiencing this miracle. How many miracles will you have in your lifetime? Can you replace the birth you were robbed of, like replacing a wallet or stolen purse?

My first child was born via birth rape, when every violation possible occurred before the big finale…the knife…i now give thanks to the VBAC movement that started up right about the time i became pregnant with my second child. Between the confidence instilled by this organization and sovereign birthers like Laura Kaplan Shanley (author of Unassisted Birth) I went on to enjoy two home births after a cesarean section.
March 6, 2011 at 1:12 pm |
I have a similiar story to your’s Hygeia. My first was extracted using force and coercion. Our relationship was severely compromised. I went on to have two amazing homebirths, surrounded just by people who loved, cared for and respected me. The difference in my mothering abilities were staggering. I’m glad more people are writing about birth rape. It’s incredibly hard for me to read, but it’s so important for the word to be spread if we have any hope of protecting women and children from this abuse.

I am not opposed to alternative kinds of birth…. but both my daughters ended up having emergency c – sections, even though they were having a great experience with their birth until there was trouble. Babies used to be strangled to death under these circumstances, and I for one, am grateful for at least some medical technology! Agreed that some of our so called medical technology is misused or used un necessarily, but I am very grateful to have two happy, healthy grand sons!
April 26, 2012 at 10:27 pm |
wildwahinepaddler–Thank you so much for stating that fact! I had to undergo c-setions as well & I am absolutely thankful that we have the medical technology that we do! I missed out on being able to have a vaginal birth, but at least I didn’t have to miss out on my baby’s life. I got to a 4 & quit dilating no matter how hard I was laboring. My son started going into distress at this point. Come to find out, his head was very large, he was my first baby & my birth canal wasn’t large enough for him to pass through. Before medical intervention & c-section I would have been one of the women that would have died during labor. My husband, mom were right there at my side the whole time and when I went to surgery it was very private. They had me covered almost the entire time & tried to keep me as modest as they could trying to save my life. There may be some hospitals that are not this way, but I am so thankful for the one I delivered at & the intervention and delivery that they helped me with. Just remembering that there’s always another side of the story.
April 27, 2012 at 5:52 am
Yes indeed, Rebecca, there is always another side to to the story. And in this case, it is important to note that God does not create baby’s heads too large to get through their mother’s pelvis. On the contrary, if your baby’s head was too large (which I seriously doubt), it is likely this is because you are ingesting genetically modified foods that are altering your entire system, and even your DNA and the DNA of your children.
If GMO foods are not behind your stalled labor, it is likely that your hospital visit is. You see, women who were born in hospitals hold unconscious memories of their own birth trauma. When they walk into a hospital, their bodies lock-up in fear, which stops the birth.
The reptilian brain is in charge of birth. It is also the place where memories of our own births get held. If the reptilian brain picks up any signal from the outer environment suggesting that mom is in an unsafe place, it will stop the birth.
Hospitals are ALWAYS unsafe places to give birth. Hospitals are responsible for unbelievable amounts of birth trauma and the untold suffering of our species. C-sections are incredibly damaging to the baby, and to the bonding between mother and child. Once is great while they are necessary. But the overwhelming amount of time, they are UNnecessary and can cause life-long patterns for the child that are damaging.
I’m glad they were able to convince you that you needed it. But chances are, had you walked out of that hospital, your birth would have picked up and you could have delivered your baby naturally.

On the other hand, I totally agree with the barbarism of circumcision. It is a total lie and few people are willing to do their homework on the subject and be aware of what it really is about. I read an article recently that was written by a mother regarding the effects of circumcision and she made a really interesting point “circumcision is a male’s first experience with connecting sex with violence”…. and we wonder why there is so much aggression against women in our society! A baby boy’s trust is almost immediately affected, when a Mother cannot or will not protect her son against genital mutilation. Talk about relationship problems later in life! Circumcision should be illegal because it is a violation of the human rights of a baby boy.
April 26, 2012 at 10:33 pm |
Again, on the other side of the story…..I have a close family member to me that was not circumcised as a baby. He had problems with infections, staying clean, the embarrasment of having to go to a doctor to be shown how to clean well enough as a teenager. It is VERY painful to have it done as an adult! A baby does not remember it the same as an adult. They brought my boys to me to breastfeed right after & they were both extremely attached and there were no ill effects even now. It’s more of our attitude than anything. I wish there were as many people who felt that it’s a violation of human rights to let a baby die before it’s born or right after it’s born, that’s the real violation of human rights
April 27, 2012 at 5:33 am
Hello Jonathan N Rebecca! Most intact boys are taught how to clean their penis while they are still children. It is interesting that you are saying a teenager had no idea how to properly clean his own body. What is going on with his parents that they did not teach him how to clean his penis? Did they subject their son to forced retraction of the penis, which causes infection? What is at the root of the infection? Surely, the foreskin is not the problem. Or are you saying that God makes mistakes and has created a faulty organ? You don’t suppose it could have anything to do with our way of life do you?
Also, do you think we should cut out a woman’s vagina because vaginas ten to get yeast infections? Or maybe we should cut off children’s ears because they tend to get ear infections?
Your logic is twisted and primitive, at best.
I become angry when people say it is better to cut off a piece of an infant’s penis than it is to allow him to wait until he is old enough to choose for himself. How dare you or anyone else make that choice for another human being? It is a violation of human rights at the deepest and most primal level. Outrageous!!!
And keep in mind that infections after circumcision, as well as hemorrhage and heart failure, are responsible for the death of approximately one infant every two days in the United States — all because of an unnecessary surgery that has it’s roots in satanic rituals.
The idea that infants don’t remember is NONSENSE and just as sickening as the medical LIES that say infants don’t feel pain. Since you are parents that have chosen to subject your children to this torture, I implore you to watch this video and understand what you have exposed your children to. Circumcision is ritual sexual torture. It is based in evil. And if you don’t have the courage to watch this video, then don’t you dare presume to make a single comment about circumcision or to think you have a right to condemn your child to suffer in this way.
Birth As We Know It – Circumcision
http://youtu.be/XmX6RdRNoqk
Infants do, indeed, remember what was done to them, as can be shown by the numerous adult human beings who are now having their prenatal and birth memories resurface for healing.
Memories for infants are not the same as memories for adults. Their memories are held in the reptilian brain and limbic system — rather than the cortex — so they don’t have memories in terms of pictures and words. BUT THEY DO HAVE MEMORY IN TERMS OF SENSATION!!! They have IMPRINTS that are somatic/cellular which influence every aspect of their lives — especially because these memories are typically not accessible to the conscious mind. For decades they can remain unconscious and drive behavior and the way reality gets created.
When a human being is resourced enough, these early imprints can and do surface. And there is tons of evidence right now that shows circumcision causes adult male sexual dysfunction and problems with intimacy, along with personality problems and a slew of other life-long issues.
Can it be any wonder? How can boys ever trust women (or men) when their own mother’s (and father’s) betrayed them and handed them over for this ritual torture?
It is time to wake up! I have little patience for people who make excuses for the sexual abuse of infants. And I’m finding it very tiring to respond to the trolls that have shown up on my page as of late. If any of you have a backbone, how about revealing who is sending you here.

my heart is on the ground…the pain is so real….I have no real words to express the traama….WE..must give voice to the damaging being done to humanity… Thank you..for this site and your voice….peace Deb P

March 22, 2012 at 8:54 pm |
I have helped two women giving birth by making love to them, carressing them, kissing them and all went like magic, no pain just a natural orgasm…..Now about circumcision? How to stop this barbarism?
April 23, 2012 at 5:42 am |
sorry people if you really want a natural childbirth don’t go to the hospital have it at home and if you die you die. that is natural and is the law of nature. and if your baby dies that is the law of nature. then you will have no-one to blame other than you own dumb ass if some thing goes wrong.
April 23, 2012 at 8:22 am |
Hey Kurt – just for your information, giving birth in a hospital appears to create higher deaths among women and babies. Here are some interesting statistics for you to look at:
http://birthofanewearth.blogspot.com/2012/03/if-you-give-birth-in-hospital-your-baby.html
http://birthofanewearth.blogspot.com/2011/10/maternal-mortality-in-us-on-rise-us.html
and please note that the U.S. has the HIGHEST maternal mortality rate in the industrialized world, yet only 1% of U.S. births happen at home.
April 23, 2012 at 6:39 pm |
Kurt S, You’re 100% right – what seems to go over the head of Birth of a New Earth is that the key to the difference of infant mortality rates between the industrialized world and the developing world is the level of care and forms of treatment given at western hospitals. If the US does in fact have the highest maternal mortality rate in the industrialized world as she claims, it’s because most other countries have universally free health care and that’s not the case in the US.
But when all said and done, if a woman wants to give birth at home she can, however, if a woman wants to take advantage of the added safety for her and her baby by way of a hospital she should be able too.
April 24, 2012 at 5:41 am
Kurt is not 100% right. He is 100% wrong. Maternal mortality is maternal mortality, no matter whether it comes in the form of universally free health care or exorbitantly expensive “health care,” such as exists in the U.S. Your comment does not make any sense Scooter.
Here are the facts… Despite the U.S. having the most expensive health care system in the world, it is nevertheless the most dangerous place for a woman to give birth. Please read this article and educate yourselves on the truth. Here are just the first two paragraphs, which I hope will help you awaken to what is really going on. There is absolutely no added safety by giving birth in a hospital, and on the contrary, those who choose hospital birth are likely to end up severely traumatized and perhaps even dead.
“Women in the United States are more likely to die during or shortly after childbirth than women in nearly all countries in Europe and many in Asia and the Middle East, according to the United Nations.
While maternal mortality declined in most countries over the past 20 years, it has not just increased, but nearly doubled, in the United States…”
U.S. Most Unsafe Place to Give Birth
http://birthofanewearth.blogspot.com/2012/01/us-most-unsafe-place-to-give-birth.html
April 27, 2012 at 5:39 pm |
It is true that doctors and hospitals often use practices that interfere with natural labor….pitocin, for example. It is also true that doctors and hospitals often cause the problems that create the need for c sections. It is also true that hospitals are known for the germs that lurk there, waiting for a compromised immune system to fall prey. A home birth is ideal….and this is the safest place to birth a baby…and it is less stressful and more comfortable than a hospital for the mom and baby. That said, it is still a good thing that there is technology and interventions when the birth does go wrong….and hopefully a hospital near by. Ultimately it is the wellbeing of the mother and baby that is important…..and even if a baby is born in a hospital setting…..there is no reason why it has to be a terrible experience. Women need to know what they want and have the support to say what that is to them. Having the knowledge to make good personal decisions for ourselves that benefit us and our babies is crucial….otherwise someone else will be making those decisions for us! If you can’t have a home birth or go to a birthing center….at least be informed enough to make the hospital birth a good memory. I would never 100% trust a doctor to know what is best for me or my child. One has to be informed and know what they want and be able to express it. Now back to circumcision: there is so much ignorance and misinformation on this topic and it’s very sad that doctors and nurses are not usually well informed about normal, natural male anatomy. The biggest threat to a baby boy who has been left as nature intended……is the medical profession who doesn’t seem to know how to care for a natural penis and does harm in many, many cases to infants and boys. Infections are usually caused by forced retraction when it should be retracting naturally on it’s own. This causes adhesions and infections……it’s NOT that the penis has been left natural! And if a parent doesn’t know how or doesn’t want to teach their boys how to care for their body….then that is the fault of the parent. Cutting off a part of a baby’s body that is normal and healthy in the name of not wanting to teach the boy how to care for himself…well that’s child abuse and laziness on the part of the parent! Girls have way more folds of skin to attend to, but we don’t cut their bodies, do we? It is the same for boys…..they should be protected from genital cutting just like girls are. It’s no different, just because they are boys. That’s just sexist and ridiculous! We have to stop the torture of women and babies and make extreme efforts to give every birthing mother and her baby a peaceful experience void of unnecessary interventions and procedures. It is the only way to heal the earth and respect every human being born.
April 30, 2012 at 5:32 am |
So here is a thought, don’t go to the hospital and use a midwife and a dula…no one is telling a mother that she has to go to the hospital to have her child, that is her choice and her decision. Again choosing to circumcise a child or not is the mothers decision. So forgive me for not having pity and not buying into your propaganda, because that is what this is…I know you’re going to say that you are informing the public of the truth, but again presenting an alternative option is one thing, but brutish and obscene photos aren’t provide an alternative. Your almost as bad as the Republicans who feel the need to show a women videos of abortions and tell women that even if she was raped that she can’t have an abortion.
April 30, 2012 at 10:06 am |
Jaya – showing pictures of what is actually going on is absolutely necessary to snap people out of their mind-control trance. If you think the pictures of circumcision or episiotomy are bad, try living the experience. Circumcision is NOT the mother’s decision — and if she makes the decision to mutilate her son’s genitals and hand him over for ritual sexual torture — well then, it should be no surprise that that boy will have a strained relationship with her and perhaps, with all women. Her son’s body is not her property. She has absolutely NO RIGHT to determine that she wants his penis altered. That is up to him. It is his body. And unless she has the guts to have her own clitoris removed, she had better not be making decisions that affect her son’s long-term health, psychological well-being, and sexual function.
And by the way – doula is spelled with a “o” – in case you were interested in presenting yourself as someone who knows what they are talking about.
April 30, 2012 at 2:01 pm |
Please explain to those who need to snap out of the current mind control how maternal mortality rates are highest for those countries who do not normally birth in hospitals. Please explain how, even though the US is highest in maternal mortality compared to industrialized countries, it is a fraction of what occurs in non-industrialized countries. Please explain the US ADJUSTED fatality rate for women who try natural childbirth and have a serious medical issue and lose baby/die at home, since you do not give one. I too, believe that the law forcing women to give birth in a hospital should be repealed. I too, believe that a midwife or doula should never touch a woman against her will, as is practiced by the multitudes of anonymous physicians in modern hospitals. I, too, believe that children should never be strapped into car seats against their will. Your heart is in the right place…modern births, given current legal issues, are much too clinical…but rape and torture it isn’t.
April 30, 2012 at 5:44 pm |
Agnelli – we do not have statistics regarding maternal mortality from indigenous cultures. We do know, however, that hospital birth has only been in existence for about 100 years, and that our species has survived quite well for millions of years without technological intervention. We also know that the belief that there is a higher maternal mortality rate amongst non-industrialized countries is just that — a belief that people parrot as part of a mind-control program that tells them what to think — without them having seen any data on the subject whatsoever!
Something else you may be interested in is the fact that the U.S. also has one of the highest infant mortality rates on the planet. You can read about that here:
What’s up with the U.S.’s Poor Infant Mortality Ranking?
http://www.spiritofilithyia.com/blog/u-s-s-poor-infant-mortality-ranking/
Regarding the adjusted fatality rate for women who “try” natural childbirth (did you mean home birth?), I wouldn’t know how to figure that out. Women in the U.S. tend to think they’ve had a “natural” birth if the baby comes out of their vagina. They don’t realize that when they allow the use of drugs like pitocin (used in 85% of hospital births) and/or pain-relief like epidural (used in approximately 75% of hospital births), there is nothing “natural” about their birth.
A better study would be to see how many women and babies die who have received pitocin, cytotec, epidural, or any other technological intervention during birth. I’m sure the number would be waaaaaaaaaaay larger than deaths of women and babies during natural birth.
Regarding birth rape — I assure that it is happening quite regularly in hospitals. Circumcision is a primary example of extremely horrific sexual torture against the baby’s will (assuming no one has met any infants that asked for it).
And hey, did you know that doctors and medical students are performing pelvic exams on anesthetized women without their consent?

“Again choosing to circumcise a child or not is the mothers decision.”……..why should it be a mothers decision to unnecessarily alter her babies normal, healthy genitals??? It is no more her decision, than it would be for her husband to force her to get a boob job! Both are cosmetic procedures…..that should absolutely be the choice of the “owner” of the body, and NO ONE else. Again….His body = His choice, as well as Her body = Her choice. Unless you actually believe that other people “own” our bodies, there is no other side of it.
April 30, 2012 at 8:31 pm |
Birth of a New Earth–it would be difficult to find statistics for home birth (not in hospital birth ) fatalities, as most are recorded as fatalities in hospitals the unfortunate mother or child is finally brought to, In other words, the US fatality rates you are rightly concerned about includes most of the fatalities that do not occur in a hospital–sometimes counted as part of that hospital’s record in many areas.
There IS evidence available regarding harm from so-called technological intervention, and it is out there for all who wish to see, no “I’m sure” necessary—we could all be sure, given facts and not conjecture. State, county, and even insurance companies keep track of these things, since lawsuits regarding dead/injured infants or moms are terribly emotional and costly for all concerned.
No one sues themselves for making a mistake during an at-home birth, so those facts might be difficult to uncover.
As far as maternal and infant mortality for non industrialized countries–there are intelligent estimates out there. I didn’t mention the term “indigenous culture”, since non industrialized political boundaries and indigenous cultures are not the same–and it is easier to find these statistics for the former.
“and hey”—I have been out cold for more than one surgery—I had to actually trust the persons trying keep me from dying. That trust, of course, can be violated in many ways—pick your friends, doctors, (even dentists) well. Luckily I don’t find abuse to be widespread in my life.
It seems to me unlikely a majority of doctors and medical students are randomly picking unconscious women for unneeded genital touching, but nearly anything is possible.
Picking words is a skill maybe a little less important than picking friends…..but “rape” is not the same as “unwanted sexual advance” in most areas of the law. Same goes for “”torture”–it is not “mayhem”, nor is it “mutilation” , or even “unnecessary surgery”".
Mixing these unsavory terms, though it is sensational, does nothing to advance your noble goals. Co-opting the horror of a violent rape or date rape for your worthwhile endeavors, in my opinion, is cheap. You seem to be good with words–how about coming up with better term!
A spade and shovel, at one time, weren’t invented. Nobody called them anything! Is it your turn to coin something new?
I assume your goals are to increase birth survival, increase birth dignity, and reduce unwanted suffering. Thumbs up for that
My suggestion to convince more people like me to come to your point of view in the future: Facts rather than sensationalism. Compassion rather than contempt. Action rather than disdain..
—Automatic is for robots

Until you are ready to watch a video of infant being circumcised, you have no right to determine if circumcision is torture — which is absolutely is, as well as genital mutilation. These terms are spot-on, and as my article indicates, I’m all about calling a spade a spade.
Hospital birth IS violent. Hospital protocols are invasive, painful, and traumatic — and many of them meet the definition of RAPE. Circumcision is RAPE!!! Unconsented to pelvic exams are RAPE!!! Just because sexual intercourse did not occur, does not mean that sexual violation has not occurred.
My goal is to get birth out of the hospital and snap people out of their mind-control trance — a trance that keeps them marching into these toxic, sadistic, death-ridden, places to birth their babies. “Sensational” terms are actually accurate to describe the horror of what is happening to mothers and infants. These are violations of the highest order.
These are the facts. And it’s OK with me if you don’t feel compelled to come over to my point of view. That is your choice. And I will pray that you don’t have any children or plan to get pregnant and give birth in a hospital.

And for everyone’s reading pleasure, here is a quote from a chief sadist:
“A remedy for masturbation which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anesthetic, as the pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it is connected with the idea of punishment.”
John Harvey Kellogg, in his book “Treatment for Self-abuse and Its Effects” 1888
February 10, 2013 at 6:56 am
It’s simple. If you don’t agree with circumcision, then don’t have it done on your son. But you have NO right telling others how to parent their child(ren). BTW, Jesus, God’s son, was circumscised on the 8th day of His life.
February 10, 2013 at 7:51 am
It’s simple. If it’s not your penis, then don’t you dare have it mutilated!!! Seriously! How dare you! I invite you to go to my blog and examine the various articles I have shared about the long-term negative effects of infant circumcision. What kind of parent are you that you would allow your newborn son to be sexually tortured and mutilated? Only a very sick person would allow this to happen to their infant. It is beyond time for people like yourself to GET EDUCATED!!!! You need to know that you are permitting something that will cause HARM to the child who is entrusted to your care. Did you know that the HIV rate is higher among circumcised men and that the brain of a circumcised man is permanently altered from circumcision? Did you know that circumcision causes serious sexual problems in adulthood, including erectile dysfunction, and is the basis of personality trait disorders that prevent men from bonding with women and being able to experience the full range of human emotion? Frankly, I don’t give a hoot about whether Jesus was part of sick cult that allowed their infant’s to be sexually mutilated and tortured. If the God you are worshiping demands that you cut off the most sensitive part of your sons’s penis before he is 8 days old, then it is high time you begin to question to the god/demon you are worshiping! WAKE UP SISTER!!!! You are colluding in evil and your son will never, ever trust you for allowing this to happen to him.
May 1, 2012 at 2:41 pm |
John Harvey Kellogg was definitely a sadist…..and sadly he managed to get backing from the medical community as well, in which it was also stated that cutting the genitals of female infants had benefits as well. And this went on for many years as Blue cross was even still covering female genital cutting as recently as 1976! When you consider that female genital cutting was only made illegal in the 1980′s……it’s not difficult to see the problem here. Male infants are routinely violated in the U.S. every 30 seconds….but no one wants to call unnecessarily cutting the genitals of a baby boy mutilation. What would you call it then? No reputable medical organization in the world recommends infant circumcision, but in the U.S., our own American Academy of Pediatrics, doesn’t recommend infant circumcision, but leaves the decision to cut an infants genitals up to the parents! How is that ethical? Who cares what religion a parent is, or what they value as culture, or what the ethnic background is? No one does…..except where a helpless infant is not respected and decisions are being made to unnecessarily cut his normal healthy genitals! One persons religious beliefs END where another persons genitals begin. NO ONE has the right to decide to cut the genitals of another person, only the owner of the body has that right! An infant cannot understand or consent to a body modification, so that should be more than enough evidence that circumcising a baby boy is wrong! It’s completely unethical that this violation of an infants body is legal in the U.S. and it should be banned. The Jewish groups that are working tirelessly to end circumcision are spot on proof that this blood ritual must end and the Brit Shalom (peaceful welcoming ceremony without circumcision) must take the place of the Bris (to cut). It really is a no brainer if one really uses their mind and thinks about this.

I was circumcised and wish I wasn’t. My 2 boys were circumcised and if I had time back I would never have let it happened. Like a lot of people, I’ve only become awake to the IMP (inner mental programming) and our unfettered instincts that control our every moment. Just like the folklore imp, our IMP and instincts have the ability to be/do good, but are mostly causing havoc. Circumcision is only one of many things that humans do that, until recently, were never questioned. We are at a great time in history where all agendas and rituals of all cultures and countries will be scrutinized by the whole of humanity to decide if indeed our IMP and instincts are up to no good. We must forgive each other, forgive ourselves, and most importantly forgive our IMP and instincts and co-command/control a better today/tomorrow. Check out the book Healthyism, free on google books, for more info on IMP and instincts.

I haven’t had a child yet, but am doing early research. I’ve watched some amazing documentaries and can not begin to say how glad I am!! Its insane that people research more into there next laptop then into the birth of their own child. To the ignorant people commenting that women who choose at home natural births are “dumbasses”, put down the spoon you have been fed filled with misleading information and lies. It’s all about money and speed. C-sections should never exceed 15%, they are at an all time high of 30%… This is disturbing and extremely dangerous. Unlike most I know fearing the pain, I’m estatic! My blinders are finally off and just in time.
June 10, 2012 at 12:34 pm |
I did seek the care of MDs for my only full term pregnancy, did everything I was supposed to do, went to every appointment, ate what I supposed to eat, and we still lost him to stillbirth, for which I do blame the DUMBASS MD. I was delivered by non-labor C-section, as were two of my siblings ,in the 1950s. Ten years after I lost my ONLY full term pregnancy to stillbirth, after several miscarriages, I read that baby girls who were delivered by C-section are “six times more likely to need C-sections for their babies.” Not one single OB I ever went to EVER asked me about the circumstances of my birth. Birth is not just physical. It is very spiritual and psychic. If I did not understand vaginal birth at a primal level, how was I going to be able to give this gift to my baby? Or was I suffering from intergenerational uncorrected under-the-radar hypothyroidism…..perhaps the very reason my mother had birthing issues. The docs missed it by a country mile…bunch of FUCKING DUMBASS bozos!!!! I will not trust another MinorDeity for as long as I live!!!

Thank you, Beverly, for sharing your story. You are right-on. Doctors (and midwives) are basically clueless about the impact technological birth has had on us and how it undermines our ability to give birth with ease and grace. Women give birth the way they, themselves, were birthed. The single most important question you can ask a woman when she is pregnant is how was her own birth. This will provide insights into her potential to give birth easily and also what needs to be healed before birth so that birth can happen gently.
We have a culture that tries to sweep birth trauma under the rug. Millions are in denial of its impact and women are still lining up to give birth in hospitals. Babies are suffering. Families are suffering. Our species is suffering. Our entire civilization is suffering. It’s a damn shame.

I have some concern with what is being said here. Are you just blaming births in hospitals? Or are you going after the whole medical community here? Sufficed to say, if you can’t trust a doctor in a hospital to help you properly give birth then how can you trust them to perform much needed live saving surgery? Or are the OBs trained to birth rape people? Please explain this further. if you can’t trust one, you can’t possibly trust the others.
I however do agree that circumcision should be up to the owner of said penis.
As for hyper and hypothyroidism…that is usually a result OF birth.

Hi Victoria! Can you say more about the hyper and hypothyroidism being a result of birth? I have not heard that before and would like to learn more.
From my perspective, hospital birth protocols are created by the same people who run the pharmaceutical industry and promote/create vaccines — which are extremely toxic and damaging to the nervous system and are creating extremely high rates of premature death, autism, addiction, and more. When you put this together with the fact that Pfizer (pharmaceutical company and maker of vaccines) owns Monsanto (creator of genetically modified seeds and foods, along with Agent Orange, DDT, and other highly toxic chemicals), you begin to see that EVIL permeates this system.
All medically personnel are trained to function within in a very dark system, where they become part of the cult and willingly inflict painful and absolutely unnecessary protocols on those who are unfortunate enough to end up in their hands.
To learn more about what I am saying, please listen to this 60-minute segment I did on Red Ice Radio about hospital birth protocols mirroring the techniques of trauma-based mind-cpontrol.

As for myself, I avoid doctors and hospitals like the plague. To maintain my health I grow and buy organic foods, eat mostly raw, and use herbs, homeopathy, essential oils, various supplements, and practice energy medicine on myself daily.
Doctors do not provide health. They are in the business of mitigating symptoms that arise from internal dis-ease, but never is there a conversation of treating the cause of the dis-ease. Humans will never become healthy if they continue to give their power to the medical profession. They will only get more and more sick.

Hi, sure I can:
Pregnancy. Some women develop hypothyroidism during or after pregnancy (postpartum hypothyroidism), often because they produce antibodies to their own thyroid gland. Left untreated, hypothyroidism increases the risk of miscarriage, premature delivery and preeclampsia — a condition that causes a significant rise in a woman’s blood pressure during the last three months of pregnancy. It can also seriously affect the developing fetus.
I in particular have thyroidtoxicosis. I have lost a great deal of weight (I’m 5’8 and weight a little over 90lbs). If I had not gone to a hospital I would be dead now. I could not walk, I could not eat, I was lucky to be able to keep simple water down. After treatment, I felt like my old self again, able to walk, able to eat, and I gained back my lost weight. I am a healthy 120 lbs again. I could not have done this without a hospital or medication. I would be DEAD.
And many many many other people can claim the same thing, including people with birth complications.
Granted, I will give you credit on your claims that health care has grown dissatisfyingly business like organization. And yes, I will agree that there are far too many people taking far to many medications. However, a correction to this is to reevaluate the medical values of medication and look into alternative medicines. NOT accuse every doctor that has ever walked the earth of some sort of rape.
In point. It cannot be rape if you consent to the procedure. This is FEDERAL Law. If a doctor is not disclosing every step of the procedure before hand, then these mothers have grounds for multi-million dollar lawsuits. Take the to COURT. If the patient is told about every little detail of the procedure, then they are giving CONSENT to have that done on them and there for it is NOT rape.

I’m wondering – do you think women are giving informed consent when they are given an episiotomy, for example? Do you think doctors tell them that the episiotomy is going to take much longer to heal than a natural tear, or that they may never be able to have sex pain-free again? Do you think doctors tell their patients that they will be MORE likely to get an infection if they allow doctors to do vaginal exams during labor? Do you think doctors tell their patients that when strangers walk into the room during the labor, this will slow down the birth? Do you think doctors tell their patients that, while they are unconscious from anesthesia, medical students are going to be instructed to do vaginal exams on them – WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT!!!
Let’s not talk about informed consent. Birthing mothers are NEVER told the real side effects of the drugs they are given during labor or the impact those drugs are going to have on their baby and on their own ability to love their baby.

the problem is many doctors and hospitals don’t give full disclosure about medical interventions and still ask for consent forms to be signed. Life saving medical interventions have their place….when there is a life threatening situation….but MOST births are not in this category. Giving birth is a natural process and shouldn’t be “medicalized”….. and in most cases, birthing at home can be a safe alternative to hospital births, but of course, every expectant mother should have a “back up” plan just in case.

Bless You for making me and others aware of this Horror-Show, it is disgusting what they do AND Satanic…..my father was born at home just fine, Women have been giving Birth forever without Hospitals, they have insinuated themselves into our lives as if we can’t do without them….again Bless You.

Using the the excuse that Christ was circumcised on the eighth day….is a pretty lame excuse for putting a normal healthy baby through an unnecessary genital alteration surgery! It’s 2013….. not the dark ages…. and there is plenty of research and facts to back up the necessary functions of foreskin, as well as how traumatic it is for a newborn to got through a non therapeutic genital surgery. Foreskin is NOT a birth defect in need of amputation, and any one who thinks it is…….has NOT done their homework! I agree, if it’s NOT your body, you have no right proxy consenting to having it surgically altered when there is no valid medical reason to be doing so. Ethnic, traditional or cultural reasons don’t hold up….IF it’s not an emergency life saving medical intervention for the baby….it’s unethical to be doing this to normal healthy babies. It’s illegal in the U.S. to cut the genitals of girls……I can’t imagine people arguing against boys having equal protection under the law. Think about it.
