Subject:	Trust Birth Conference
Body:	<div class="NTForums_Quote">Posted By Henci Goer on 02/07/2008 12:20 AM<br><P>To follow up to Carla's post, I think it is important not to huddle in little enclaves of People Who Think Just Like Us but to engage in reasoned discourse and exchange of ideas with those who don't. You don't really know what you think until you have tried to explain your position to someone who doesn't share it and have listened to them explain theirs. (This, of course, is assuming that those who hold different opinions will be treated with respect, which I have confidence that they will at the Trust Birth conference.)</P> <P>I also think it is important that we who are advocates for, well, whatever you want to call it: normal birth, mother-friendly care, physiologic care, undisturbed birth, humane birth, safe motherhood, Midwives Model of Care, find common ground where we can as this allows us to form strategic alliances. We don't have to agree on everything to work together on issues where we do agree. </P> <P>-- Henci</P></div><br><br>
