Dear All,
The last posting about the Homebirth Australia Conference 2000.
If you don't know already your either dead, multi-sensorily challanged,
apathetic or blatantly ignorant. If you are not coming you must be either
either green with envy, wish you could or have no real concern for the broader
spectrum of birthing issues in Australia. Harsh- I think not.
After reviewing Marsdens Abstract it could be the tidal surge that wipes out
the lies propergated by those trying to maintain a status Quo of birth care in
Australia. We wanted Rocking the Cradle to initiate change for us....it didn't
happen so let us steal it for the women who are abused and ignored by our
medicalised impersonal system of care. If you don't think we need to
challange, to write, to be political and try and change the current system of
care then you should have deleted this e-mail anyway.
If you bury your head in the sand you can still be be-headed.
The conference is a celebration of women, the beauty of nature, the marvel of
women, as well as a challange to the horrendous system we find ourselves in.
Join us but if you can't then do something write to a newspaper contatc the
T.V. stations, write to your M.P.'s we can change the world unite with the
birthing women, inform them of the assault on their bodies, with this
information society will arm itself and fight the dragon.
If you think I am just blowing off steam then so be it- but a voice is a seed
of change and silence is the shackles that oppress and allow for abuse.
Speak out speak out..........
Ch7, CH9, CH 10, The Age, The Australian, Local news and Radio have all shown
an interest in the conference based on controversy of issues presented. If you
aren't there wave your banners to the world inform etc.......
Boy am I pumped up after just reading his abstract imagine what it will be like
with all of the atmosphere of the conference.
See you there or..........well its up to you!!!!!!
Places still availible so hurry up and move it!!
Love and Peace
