I hear you.  Any publicity is good publicity, though.  Even though that homeschooling show never aired, people are obviously hearing about it.  And, as "Amy Tuteur" shows us, the extremists often get people talking who otherwise wouldn't.  The AMA/ACOG anti-homebirth stance has several of my normally uninterested family members talking.

Perhaps there is a difference, though, with birth.  Homeschooling seems like more of an ideological issue, whereas homebirth has some good statistics (pro-homebirth and anti-hospital) to back it up.  What psychologist's ears doesn't perk up to research?  They're inundated with it in their training.

Just out of curiosity, where did his wife talk about her epidural?  Or is this just common knowledge?!
