Subject:	The OB disinformation campaign
Body:	<div class="NTForums_Quote">Posted By n/a on 05/10/2008 12:45 PM<br>I've just read your article "The Assault on Normal Birth - the OB Disinformation campaign" published in 2002 and it backed up something I had been wondering about for a while. Whilst pregnant with my 4th child and planning a homebirth I spent sometime reading the homebirthdebate blogspot. I tried not to but it was fascinating the way information could be distorted to suit a particular objective. I began to wonder what could be driving this hatred of natural and homebirth advocacy. Given the tiny number of women who opt for homebirth in this country I couldn't see where all the anger was coming from (I don't believe it is from a genuine desire to improve maternity and neonatal statistics as the site suggests- there would surely be much better ways of achieving this). It occurred to me that maybe this was also part of ACOG's disinformation campaign to discredit homebirth and midwives. I was just wondering what your thoughts were. </div><br><br>
