Dear Andrea I tried it on my local Zonta Club and got blank stares. Once again they (women's groups) like all consumers need education about what they are missing - they mostly/all believe the myths about having been saved and served well by the system! There is need for a mass publicity and education program and part of my propsoal for a national group(Mat Coalition) was to get funding to develop some tools for such!! As we have said we need to get in the schools to educate future birthers and breast feeders but we need also to get out and talk to the mothers of what could have and should be!!
