    So, this pretty much eliminates the need to go to hospitals for birth, yeah? I mean it sounds like they’re just gonna let you die anyway. Time for a Doula revolution

      Eliminates the need? More like eliminates the option.

      Obstetricians are leaving the state in droves (because their job has become an increasingly risky legal obstacle course), and hospitals are shutting down their birthing centers (because they don’t have obstetricians to see patients).
