Let’s call a spade a spade. There is sexual violence occurring in hospitals everyday. Women and babies are being violated beyond our capacity to deal with it or even comprehend how dark it is. And fathers are going into shock witnessing their partners and babies being abused and violated.

Birth is a sexual event. Genitals are sexual organs.  WHEN SOMEONE VIOLATES THE SANCTITY OF THE BIRTH FIELD BY VIOLATING THE INTEGRITY OF SOMEONE’S GENITAL ORGANS – THIS IS RAPE!!!

When a woman is forced to lie down with her legs up in the air in stirrups, spread wide for all the world to see, and strangers walk in and out of the room and promptly, presumptuously, repeatedly, and unnecessarily insert their invasive hands and instruments into her vagina during labor — THIS IS RAPE!

When a woman is physically restrained — with tubes or wires or cords or anything else — SOMETHING IS HAPPENING AGAINST HER WILL!

When a woman’s yoni is sliced open brutally and unnecessarily (episiotomy) due to habitual hospital protocol, THIS IS SEXUAL VIOLENCE!

When an infant baby boy is strapped down to a board and has a piece of his penis cut-off — without anesthesia and with absolute disregard to the extreme sensitivity and vulnerability of his being– THIS IS RAPE AND ONE OF THE MOST HIDEOUS FORMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE KNOWN TO HUMANKIND.

IT’S TIME TO SNAP OUT OF THE TRANCE!

IT’S TIME FOR AMERICANS TO WAKE UP!

Hospitals are dangerous and violent places to give birth. Unless it is absolutely medically necessary to give birth in a hospital, hospital birth should be avoided at all costs.
