To think free birthing should be entirely banned

I think homebirths should be banned too. But that’s just me

Amanda the Yorkshire Farm/Shepherdess had one of her babies at home on her own as she lives far from a hospital and had already had other babies and birthed sheep. I don't think you could ban it

Deliberate freebirthing should be a criminal act of child endangerment in my view

I believe free birthing is madness but I also believe a women has the right to consent or not to consent to medical treatmemt.

I agree OP. Freebirthing seems like madness.

Free birthing shouldn’t be banned. Most free births are accidental aren’t they? Faster than expected labour, couldn’t make it to the hospital, ambulance didn’t get there in time sort of scenarios and then what the police would need to investigate to make sure it wasn’t your plan all along… That would be awful. Consequences for spreading medical misinformation would be a good idea though.

No, women shouldn't be forced to have medical intervention if they don't want it.

You're conflating issues here.

No I don't think freebirthing should be banned.

I read this article earlier and like you was appalled by the misinformation and dangerous resistance to any medical intervention the two founders of this organisation peddled, along with hiding 'negative outcomes'. But to me it seemed the issue is more with one of the founders wanting to monetise the practice without being able to regulate it.

I wouldn't free birth, but I also know people who have successfully, likewise know people whose babies died during midwife-assisted home births. I think it's important that women are questioning and resisting unnecessary medicalisation but I also believe the conversation around risks should be much more pragmatic and less emotive.
