Can you please not fulminate or post flamebait to HN? We're trying for curious conversation here and those are two of the things that most prevent that. That's why they're against the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Of course this doesn't mean you're wrong—it means you need to present your view thoughtfully and in a way that appeals to curiosity. That's especially important if your view happens to be right, so it's in your interest. (I'm adding this because the field around childbirth is intense and there are such strong feelings about it—justifiably.)
