I was pleased to read Joy and Tina's comments on
this topic and I agree wholeheartedly with you both.
In trying to appeal to a wider audience (the
public) and attract their attention and support, negativity is not the way to
go.
Whenever one puts down another, they are not
successfully building themselves up.
We need to point to the system and current
attitudes as wrong not doctors. Doctors are just as much victims as women
and midwives are.
Therefore my suggestion is to gain the genuine support of the community through going back to the very basics. "Midwives and Women Striving for a Better
Birthing Future"
I think everyone would get the message right
away.
hug to all

Hi all, fantastic Joy.....couldn't agree more. The NMAP is a plan from Australia's women on what they want in birth reform....lets be woman centred here in our approach, ignore the doctors, ignore the midwives and put women and their 'push for birth reform' on the agenda!!!!! This is one of Joy's slogans from a way back - I think its simple, effective, and can be used beautifully in the context of the NMAP - as a consumer led, political action for birth reform in this country.... The NMAP - Australian women's 'push for birth reform' !!! My two bobs worth.... Yours in birth, Tina Pettigrew Birthworks Bachelor of Midwifery Student and Independent CBE Convenor, Aust B.
