Women's Health   Child Health  Hospitals

[Obstetrics is the surgical specialty dealing with the care of women and their children during pregnancy (prenatal period), childbirth and the postnatal period. Midwifery is the non-surgical equivalent.  Almost all modern obstetricians are also gynaecologists. Gynaecology is the medical practice dealing with the health of the female reproductive system In the USA, 54% of doctors involved in the delivery or care of infants perform Circumcision [Stang & Snellman, 1998]. The breakdown is: obstetricians 46%, family practitioners 29% and pediatricians 25%. 1 ]

Quotes
"Almost every stage of obstetrical procedure in the hospital is part of the mechanism that enables the doctor to create his own pathology."---Robert Mendelsohn M.D

They are expelled rather roughly and usually taken away from their mother, which is wrong. It's physiologically/psychologically wrong. Both baby and mother need each other more at that time than they ever will again. The baby should be put to nurse at his mother's breast whereupon it induces an enormous number of wonderful changes in the mother, such as an arresting of the postpartum hemorrhage, which no obstetrician can do under the circumstances, but a baby can do. Which indicates that there is more intelligence in the upper and the lower lip of one baby than all the brains of all the obstetricians put together. Ashley Montagu Interview by Michael Mendizza

In 1982, the state of California completed the largest study ever undertaken on the root causes of crime and violence. The number one cause was found to be medical interference with childbirth in our hospitals.---Joseph Chilton Pearce

There is no doubt in my mind….that a large proportion of brain-injured and learning disabled children are the result of obstetric drugs….Most women are unaware that obstetric drugs diminish the supply of oxygen to the unborn baby’s brain and can result in brain damage.---Diana Korte
