@Mark1957@DearRebelAda Because the legal definition of it doesn’t mean only men can commit it, nothing to do with trans and definitions like others have said. Females can rape females, obstetric rape goes unreported, so for all anyone knows, this could be an allegation against a midwife
@MrsNickyClark@AdrianRamsay@TheGreenParty I think it’s really sad that what was posted didn’t come with more context and clarified the stand on birth choice. You had your birth experience which meant you read it and disagree, I have my birth experience which meant I read it and supported it.
@cusally @JonHarland1 @JamesTitcombe@TheGreenParty It’s the unnecessary interventions they’re referring to, a membrane sweep, an induction etc early interventions that can lead to traumatic birth and or C-section. Stop scaring mothers reaching “due date” that due means end
@TobyMaddix @nicolabeech@TheGreenParty The wording is open to broad interpretation & when you’re not someone who’s suffered at the hands of current maternity services, it’s easy to see this idea as “wild”. I fully support it, as I read it from the view of someone who had a natural experience unnecessarily medicalised
@nicolabeech @TobyMaddix @TheGreenParty A c-section was used to hurry the end of my pregnancy, I was rushed and coerced into it and I’m not alone. Full bodily autonomy is required, with informed choice which includes the choice of an elective section, after being given impartial facts and info
@RMatthewsPsyEdu @WrightNever@cardiepops@TheGreenParty@carla_denyer@AdrianRamsay@DOckendenLtd I’m not in a position to verify if there is or isn’t evidence to support it, but I do know first hand it exists. I was given full risks and facts, that’s not the entire issue. It’s the language used when discussing them, pure coercion & manipulation when arguably most vulnerable
@mumjeanz Great news! We had a bumpy ride of it as she was initially turned down for first 3 places! But then was told there was mistake and she does have a place after all! It’s been a rollercoaster xxx
@bartnik @JunglistYid @mynameisRobbo@carlyjohnson123 Rules and regs waived in a hangover situation, double carbs all the way. Pure survival instincts at that point.
@murphypurphy @nickengland78 @Dr_DeanS Sadly I would think a lot of people out there see any pension contribution as a “frivolous expenditure” right now as they simply can’t afford it
