		<title>Too good to pass by</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.

		<title>More Henci Goer writing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
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>

What are you reading and writing? Here&#8217;s a few of the things I&#8217;ve found to be good reads lately.
Breastfeeding children and women a “low priority” – Western Australian parliament
Remember the protests in Perth last year about Premier Barnett’s party failing to bring WA into line with the rest of Australia with laws protecting breastfeeding families [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why are women stripped of their rights in labour and delivery? The still-cruel maternity wards.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Henci Goer. You rock.
Of course in Australia we start with legislation that makes criminals of women and midwives who simply exercise the right to freely choose a career or who seek to be the one responsible for choosing a model of care and careprovider. Look out, Australia, this stuff is coming. It&#8217;s already happening but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is a boringly normal human activity.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I came across this marvellous group and thought I&#8217;d share in case you haven&#8217;t seen them. Love their work! Check them out at their link. Such lovely, normal images of normal human stuff!
Here we present the first page of photos banned          from the social utility Facebook, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talia is planning a homebirth for her first baby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a 25 year old married woman, of Irish ancestry, living what most would see as a very conventional life – we own our home, both work in corporate jobs, drive European cars.  So, of course, people fall of their chairs in disbelief that someone as ‘normal’ as me would want a ‘hippie’ birth.
Well, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morgan has had two homebirths</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Donovan’s birth story (June 9, 2006)
I knew before I got pregnant that I would have a home birth with this baby and any subsequent babies, but I decided about halfway into this pregnancy that a midwife-assisted home birth was still too medical and had too much potential for intervention for me—midwifery in Georgia is alegal [...]]]></description>

		<title>The AMA trots out another media bonanza piece of crap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not content with wheeling out the already discredited Pang and Bastian &#8220;studies&#8221;, the AMA has now wheeled out a synopsis for a study of homebirth that rather misses the points of the information they actually found in the study.
Check out Lisa Barrett&#8217;s blog and Hoyden About Town for a full breakdown. I also look forward [...]]]></description>
