'It was a cult': Mothers seduced by freebirth movement describe trauma and exclusion
www.abc.net.au
Mothers who planned freebirths that ended in a hospital transfer say they've been "gaslit" or "abandoned" by birth workers and kicked out of group chats meant to support them. The movement is facing increasing criticism for "groupthink" and "extremism".

      It is so loony, I automatically assumed that this was the US. You have such nutters downunder, too? Crazy.

        I don’t have them, because I don’t live in Australia. But nutters exist all over the world. However here on lemmy we just have a bunch of people who never read the article and assume it’s all about the United States because that’s what’s fun to mock today.

        Yes, sadly we have social media access in Australia too, and the same loony shit that glues eyeballs to screens in the US and makes people choose poorly has the same affect here.

      Yeah in the US they prefer more economic units of the right skin color to be born.

      Recipe:

      Fuck some more…
      Baby!..OK you’re on your own!
      Baby is now 5 years old… Go to jail! Baby is now 18… Shot accidentally… Oops we were looking for another guy…oops we didn’t have a warrant and the guy was sleeping but he came at us when he suddenly woke up… Oops brown…oops black…oops Asian oops Indian… Not worth as a human anyway… Blah blah blah cops.

      Such is America now.
