Run away! They're showing a medical exam on tv. We can't handle the bare chest of a woman in America! Even for medical purposes! Run away!
Which is exactly why I'm downvoting this vid.

Child Birth as Orgasmic Experience
I agree with dag. C-sections are considered normal practice, and they're typically unnecessary. The hospitals make more money doing surgery than not, so you can understand why they convince so many scared, terrified first time mothers into getting them.

So yeah, normal baby = go right ahead.
Sick baby = take your chances, but I don't recommend it.
Youtube vs. Free Speech
I refuse to listen to any "truth" if it's not going to be presented in a halfway decent platform.
No vote.
As a generalizing statement that's probably one of the most ignorant things I have read in a long time.
Although, pertaining to this video, I'm inclined to agree.

Why do I keep hearing about this same side effect?
Is this more common than we are let to believe?
- Just asking the question!
No, it's not. Media sensationalism is what makes this seem to be more common than 1 in a million, when it really is. And just FYI, 1 in a million means there are 307 people in the US living with Dystonia.

In reply to this comment by NetRunner:
Glenn Greewald wrote a great article on this topic that really digs into this, including Supreme Court decisions.
Re: the Franken amendment, it's completely nonspecific. The KBR case was certainly the catalyst, but the law is aimed at the behavior, not the individual.
With the push to defund ACORN, the reverse is true.

Alan Grayson Schools Georgia Republican On The Constitution
^ The topic under discussion was the bill that would strip ACORN of all Federal funding, because it's supposedly corrupt.
Now, pay attention when they talk about why bills of attainder are wrong. To paraphrase, it's to keep Congress from taking on issues that should be the purview of the judicial branch -- namely determining the guilt or innocence of the accused, and meting out punishments for the guilty.
The move to strip ACORN of Federal dollars is entirely about trying to use the legislature to pass judgment on alleged criminal activity, and dispense a punishment.
It's set up so that perhaps there's a way to narrowly define "punishment" so it doesn't count, but any rational person knows that's the entire point of the bill.
Wouldn't this apply to the amendment that Franken passed that dished out a punishment for KBR/Halliburton? Would that be considered a Bill of Attainder?
I'm just playing devil's advocate here and trying to discern the difference.
Also, I'd like to interpret Winstonfield_Pennypacker's post to what I saw it as:
>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:
Now if only he could start practicing what he preaches and stop his party from stiff-arming the constitution(Attack aimed at the Democratic Party). Here is the conversion simplified.
Mr. Grayson: "Are bills of attainder bad?"
Mr. Brown: "This isn't a bill of attainder."
Mr. Grayson: "I asked you if bills of attainder were bad."
Mr. Brown: "This isn't a bill of attainder."
Mr. Grayson: "Answer my question. Aren't bills of attainder bad?"
Mr. Brown: "Sure - but this isn't a bill of attainder."(but it IS a Bill of Attainder)
I assume Mr. Grayson believes that if enough people hear him call something that isn't a bill of attainder a bill of attainder enough then someone may start believing it(He quoted and interpreted the constitution in a way that even I was able to interpret this bill as a Bill of Retainder, and I'm not a politician). Politicians have a pretty long history of using technicalities, buearucrat-speak, legalese, and other textual skullduggery to get around the Constitution to accomplish political objectives (this applies to both sides)(this also applies to your posts as well). Mr. Grayson is a pot calling a kettle black in that regard. Congress has been violating constitutional law for decades, and he's getting all testy now? (Personal attack on Grayson, expletive deleted). I guess that's what politicians do best though. Blame others for their own faults.
Take away your blatant lies and personal attacks and you're just re-iterating what was in the video without bringing any new information into light. NetRunner at least explains his comments and tries to inform the sift public what the hell the video is about. I'd like to ignore your comments, but it's amusing to watch you employ tactics to try and prove a point.
