Parents, midwives mourn closure of family birth unit at Montreal's Notre-Dame Hospital
The family birth unit emphasized physiological — or natural — medication-free births and collaborated with midwives, who shared their expertise and knowledge with the unit's nurses. Some say the closure is a missed opportunity for Montreal.

I have not been able to read lately. Too overwhelmed with... Everything. But I decided to pick Invisible Labor: The Untold Story of the Cesarean Section by Rachel Somerstein.

Personally, I have had two abortions, one vaginal birth, and one planned C-section (high risk pregnancy). While I never experienced trauma, I bled for more than 6 months after my C-section which I assume is far from normal though my doctor never seemed concerned.

Review of data for over 55,000 women between 2006 and 2010 found that those who had given birth at least once had an approximately 30% lower risk of bipolar disorder and major depression. The effect was greater for two or more children than for just one.

Spring promises rebirth. After a long winter of political fighting, social strife, and economic woes, the successful hatching of eaglets serves as a reminder of nature’s capacity for resilience and renewal. #birds #eagles #birth

My ★★★★★ review of Birth (2004) on @letterboxd: boxd.it/8XuBB9

boxd.itA ★★★★★ review of Birth (2004)I tried not to grant 5 stars, but could not find a reason not to. So there you go. Directed by the exciting Jonathan Glazer. Writing credits by Jean-Claude Carrière (dearly missed), Milo Addica and Jonathan Glazer. Starring Nicole Kidman, Cameron Bright, Danny Huston and a brilliant Lauren Bacall. All performances are exceptional. A young boy attempts to convince a woman that he is her dead husband reborn. For sure an extra star went to the music and the way it adds to Birth. Accompanying music by Georg Solti and Wiener Philharmoniker : performing Die Walküre by Richard Wagner. And

#Trump recently issued new guidelines for the #Transportation Dept, surprisingly prioritizing spending & #infrastructure for “communities w/ #marriage & #birth rates higher than the national average.” In other words, communities w/large #traditional #families. We know what you’re probably thinking: That means #rural & small town America—presumably Trump’s core constituency—will disproportionately benefit from these funds.

But you could very well be wrong.

"#US Govt Dept to Tie Funding to #Marriage and #Birth Rates"

Jesus fucking Christ

I think what we can say about the #conservative view of #humanity is that they view #human #society as a fungal growth:

1. tons of kids

2. dumb as a bag of rocks

(since #Trump plans on gutting the Dept of #Education)

I'm wondering what #conservatives think their grand vision of humanity means for the #USA's future #productivity and #success

#Happiness of course means nothing to them

By describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized #fetal #personhood.

Pro-abortion activists have long warned that fetal personhood,
an ideology that calls for providing equal human rights to a fetus
(even if it’s a cluster of cells),
will effectively strip pregnant people of their own rights.

The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a #murderer.

But the concept of fetal personhood is not only weaponized to limit abortion access
—it’s also been leveraged at the state level to restrict in vitro fertilization ( #IVF ) access for intended parents in places such as Alabama,
and even used to limit access to forms of #birth #control.
In May, the Texas GOP attempted to transform fetal personhood into law, claiming that “abortion is not healthcare, it is homicide,”
and called on lawmakers to extend “equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization"

all humanity through one of their own, the prophet who will act in their name (Deuteronomy 18:20). That superior man, yet to come, will be the new Adam, the last Man or the New Man (1 Corinthians 15:45-49). Scripture announces the arrival of the "son of man", it is a synonym for "man" or the new world that puts power at the service of the people (Daniel 7:13-14).
