MANA MIDWIVES...
"HATEFUL" TODD VS. "RIFFRAFF" JAN (MIDWIFERY TODAY EDITOR)
WHICH is more HATEFUL?
Jan promoting closing the birth canal up to 30% (on behalf of midwives
everywhere)...
...or Todd "unprofessionally" *protesting* midwives promoting closing of the
birth canal?
Note: It's not just Midwife Jan Tritten who is promoting closing of the
birth canal up to 30%
Yale CNMwifery Prof. Helen Varney does it too - plus - CNMwifery Prof. Helen
promotes KEEPING the birth canal closed when the baby gets stuck!

NOTE: JAN RESPONDED to my post Midwifery Today abomination...
She called me "hateful."
But she also said something nice....
See below.
I'll cc this to the various MANA midwives (and NZ Midwife Jean Sutton) who
received my post "Midwifery Today abomination"...
Attention MANA: It is time for midwives to speak out - MANA leading the
way - BEFORE Jan's upcoming March 2005 Midwifery Today conference in
Eugene...
It would be good if MANA and ACNM could speak out together and announce at
the March 2005 conference a campaign to wipe out the bizarre obstetric
practice of closing birth canals up to 30% and keeping birth canals closed
when babies get stuck...

Jennifer,
Sorry for the crossposting but...
EVERY newsgroup has "riffraff"...
Why - some people even consider ME "riffraff" - LOL!
Remember when "Midwifery Today Mother" Jan Tritten cancelled a full-length
article on the birth-canal-closing semisitting position and in her very next
issue PROMOTED semisitting/closing the birth canal?
See Midwifery Today abomination - CHIROPRACTIC censorship too...
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2985
Jan PROFESSIONALLY promoted harming babies - and now you complain that it
was "unprofessional" the way I complained about Jan's "professional"
editorial behavior - LOL!
Sheesh - what RIFFRAFF - totally "impolite" to babies - and you DEFEND Jan
the "professional" saying she is on my side!
OBs are closing birth canals up to 30% and KEEPING birth canals closed up to
30% - and Jan is silent - actually promoted semisitting - and **I** am
unprofessional? LOL!
Did you learn that logic at doula school?
Or did you apply it because Jan might ask you to speak at her Midwifery
Today conferences now and then?
It doesn't really matter WHY you made no comment about Jan (still) promoting
closing the birth canal up to 30% as a "Midwifery Trick of the Trade"...
BTW, part of the reason I started a new thread in regard to your Whooping
Cough posts (you sounded bad!) - was because there are some MDs over on
sci.med and misc.health.alternative - who knows - one might have had a good
tip...
You said you were taking Vit C (4 grams - loose bowels too, I think you
said)...
Still, some pretty incredible claims are being made for the stuff - maybe
it's all quackery - but I suspect not - I think Linus Pauling was onto
something...
See again: Megadose Vit C: 'Whooping cough responds quickly'???
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/3007
I sincerely hope your Whooping cough gets better soon.
I am confident from what you said that you will be offering your baby the
"extra" up to 30%.
Most women don't even know it is being denied though.
Women should not have to ask OBs or midwives for the "extra" up to 30%.
Closing the birth canal up to 30% should not be promoted by midwives -
prominent or not...
The "extra" up to 30% should just be given automatically.

PS "HATEFUL" TODD - "RIFFRAFF" JAN (MIDWIFERY TODAY EDITOR)
Jan is SORT of on my side - privately...
Jan recently wrote of my "very accurate message" (in response to my post
Midwifery Today abomination, URL above)...
>>>>BEGIN Jan's message to "hateful" Todd
"It is too bad you are such a hateful person. You might be able to get your,
very accurate message, out to people if you were not such hateful
person...LOVE jan"
>>>>END Jan's message to "hateful" Todd
There's that logic again!
Jan cancels a full-length article on birth-canal-closing/semisitting and
PROMOTES closing birth canals up to 30%/semisitting...
...and **I** am "hateful" for protesting (and Jan makes NO offer to publicly
retract her grisly "trick")!!!
At least Jan mentioned my "very accurate message"...
Yep - my message *is* very accurate - OBs and CNMwives (and some homebirth
midwives) are closing birth canals up to 30% and KEEPING birth canals closed
when babies get stuck.
It is a FELONY to knowingly close birth canals up to 30% and keep birth
canals closed when babies get stuck.
OBs and CNMwives simply can't stop their obvious mass felony - it is HATEFUL
to them to admit their mistake - because they could go to prison.
In civil litigation, they could lose MONEY - millions per damaged baby
following all their semisitting and dorsal births...
PARALYZED BABIES...and midwives...
As I noted in Midwifery Today abomination (URL above), one woman told me her
midwife closed her birth canal up to 30% (used semisitting) then told her
that her baby got paralyzed at birth because her pelvis was too small.
What if this woman's midwife was encouraged to use semisitting when Jan
called it a "Midwifery Trick of the Trade"?
This woman with the paralyzed child just sent me something written by Ina
May Gaskin that sounds like Jan's grisly "trick":
[GASKIN] "Turning the woman to hands and knees position is often enough to
dislodge the shoulder. The process of turning over dislodges the stuck
shoulder. This technique should also work in reverse. Try moving from
hands and knees to semi-sit. If neither of these positions work, try to
have her squat."
I replied to the woman's questions:
The quote from Gaskin reads very much like Jan Tritten's "Midwifery Trick of
the Trade"...
There is NO question in my mind that having the woman shift moves the pelvic
bones - but you do NOT - put a woman on her sacrum with the baby's head in
the pelvic outlet - so in answer to your question - semisitting does indeed
close the outlet on the baby - IF the baby's head is in the outlet at the
time.
Hopefully by now you are getting comfortable with the simple biomechanics:
It's as simple as: So, if I squeeze the nutcracker the nut will crack...
Gaskin mentioned the biomechanics in her "All-Fours" article in the medical
literature.
>>>>END Gastaldo's response to the woman whose midwife closed her birth
>>>>canal up to 30% then told her she had a paralyzed baby because her
>>>>pelvis was too small...
Again, Jan's logic:
Jan cancels a full-length article on birth-canal-closing/semisitting and
PROMOTES closing birth canals up to 30%/semisitting...
...and **I** am "hateful" for protesting (and Jan makes NO offer to publicly
retract her grisly "trick")!!!
Attention MANA: It is time for midwives to speak out - MANA leading the
way - BEFORE Jan's upcoming March 2005 Midwifery Today conference in
Eugene...
It would be good if MANA and ACNM could speak out together and announce at
the March 2005 conference a campaign to wipe out (finally) the bizarre
obstetric practice of closing birth canals up to 30% and keeping birth
canals closed when babies get stuck...
Women should not have to ask for this "extra" room.
It should be offered automatically.
Thanks,

PS I repost this on it's own thread - in part because the original thread is
not showing up in misc.kids.pregnancy on my newsreader.
Also, I wanted to point out the fallacy of Chiro Censor Bob Dubin's
suggestion that the only thing DCs can to stop the closing of birth canals
by OBs is to refer pregnant women to midwives....
CNMwives are PROMOTING closing of the birth canal up to 30% - and some
prominent homebirth midwives are going along with the grisly gag.
See again: Midwifery Today abomination - CHIROPRACTIC censorship too...
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2985
Besides Censor Bob is forgetting: OBs attend FAR more births - usually
closing birth canals up to 30% and KEEPING birth canals closed when babies
get stuck - applying GRUESOME (sometimes fatal) spinal manipulation - with
birth canals closed..
It's mass spinal manipulation child abuse by DCs - and DCs who so much as
SUSPECT child abuse are to report it immediately. There is MUCH DCs can
do - i.e. - the minimum required by law if they so much as suspect abuse...
Does anyone NOT suspect child abuse is occurring when an OB pulls on a
child's spine with the birth canal senselessly/negligently closed and rips a
couple of spinal nerves off the spinal cord?
Coped to Chiro Censor Bob Dubin, DC (drdubin@aol.com): Censor Bob: Again,
for your possible Schroeder/SLAPP censorship enjoyment - or - hope, hope,
hope, you will stop your censorship and post this - your choice.
When you demonstrate that you have stopped your Schroeder/SLAPP censorship,
I will reconsider subscribing to you currently censored list.
