...still advocating for women today, I'd like to correct a widely held myth repeated in your article: that the mass move to hospital births accounted for the huge drop in the maternal mortality rate between 1940 and 1960. Actually, public-health developments such as the availability of antibiotics, blood transfusions and intravenous fluids accounted for most of that reduction in the death rate. The real question is why that rate has doubled since 1982. Remember: the home-birth rate has been less than 1% since the 1970s - far too small to account for the rise in the death rate...

"Let me be clear: I will...
...high school gym, "We can't keep doing the things we've been doing and expect a different result." It's a message his campaign organization has taken to heart. Obama's is the first truly wired campaign, seamlessly integrating the networking power of technology with the flesh-and-blood passion of a social movement. His people get the fact that the Internet is more than television with a keyboard attached. It is the greatest tool ever invented for connecting people to others who share their interests.
