Dear Kathleen,
 
The video "In Union" can be purchased for

I must also tell you of their workshop "Intuitive Midwifery" which I think is a must for all midwives, midwife and medical students and others working in maternity care as well as all women.  Its a gentler, more spiritual and humanized perspective of birth.
 
Vicki and Nic, with other educators, must be the educational arm of the NMAP. 
 
By the by, have you read the book by Michel Odent 2002,  "The Farmer and the Obstetrician"?
The corollary between industrialized farming with its recent disasters and environmental degradation, and industrialized childbirth, its effects on humanity with some disasters known but more waiting to happen.   Very interesting.
 
Thanks.  I'm over it now.  And you're right, we will never give up or give in

Dear Elizabeth,
 
I can certainly understand your disappointment but you are not alone and we will not give up or give in.
 
I am interested in Humanized birth.  Is it a video sequence?  How do I get a copy?

Dear Fellow Social Justice Seekers,
 
The appointment I had with a Sal Lintott in Melbourne, was to discuss the issue of women's choice in childbirth, of which they have none.   It is also an increasing global issue - particularly in developed countries, and recommended by the World Health Organization in 1985 as being of paramount importance.   Reference can be given if necessary.
 
Industrialized childbirth harms future generations, and leads to lack of respect for nature and the environment.   It is so important.
 
Sal did not turn up, and I left 50 minutes later, disappointed and heartbroken.  
 
Is anyone at the other venues interested in a 6 minute segment of HUMANIZED BIRTH which needs no words to say what it is about except for future generations rights, as well as womens rights..   ie.  the right to non violent birth.    It can be arranged that women will attend post screening to explain the situation to interested parties.    
 
sincerely,
 
Elizabeth McAlpine
