		<title>Architecture nerd alert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the Anzac Bridge in Sydney for those not local to me.
In my private life, I like architecture. I like Grand Designs, I even like Dream Homes. Mostly I like architecture whether it&#8217;s modern, ancient, superb 18th century or Art Deco. I have a sneaking and growing love for outrageous modernism too. Here&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

Weep as you read about VBAC in the US (and not too far off what it&#8217;s like here) Childbirth without choice
It would seem perfectly natural that a woman could give birth naturally if she wants to. Guess what? She can&#8217;t.
An increasing number of hospitals in this country are refusing to offer women the option of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Meet Emily Burns, PhD student at the University of Western Sydney&#8217;s Centre for Cultural Research. Looks like a great thesis in the making and sorely needed! Good luck, Emily!
This post is to ask if anyone here would be willing to participate in my PhD project on home birth and free birth experiences in Australia. This [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I was idly looking over the admirable Science and Sensibility blog and in the categories I saw, &#8220;systematic review&#8221;. Two words calculated to stir the breast of the homebirth advocate. So just because I can, I&#8217;m sharing that very link.

		<title>The revolution will not be televised* but it might be tweeted!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Trust Birth conference is being tweeted so it&#8217;s like little live jewel bursts of glorious information coming out during the sessions! If you twitter, join in and retweet some beautiful birthing wisdom as it happens!
* And it definitely won&#8217;t be on Facebook if it involves breastfeeding.&#8230;

		<title>Legal Regulation of Pregnancy and Childbirth</title>

		<description><![CDATA[
Head over to The Angry Black Woman to read a huge link fest on reproductive justice.
Wow. Just wow.
Further wowing to be had from Helen Razer who offered us some great tips on Vajazzling in time for International Women&#8217;s Day. Oh and a slamming for some playwright or other, whose work I once enjoyed. Onya, Helen.

I&#8217;m in danger of becoming a groupie. I was already wildly grateful for her work but after a morning of reading about pole dancing being a sport, how Australia lacks women in parliament, and how women aren&#8217;t too fussed by the unspeakable misogyny of Tony Abbott (and neither are men), it was such a relief [...]]]></description>
