This Isn't A Scary Pumpkin. At least it shouldn't be. My feeling is that we need reframe birth. Take it out if the realm of the scary, the gorey, the gross, the embarrassing. In fact, birth is fucking amazing! Look what our bodies can do! Look at the physical athleticism of the act! It's no mystery that birth has become disempowered, that women's bodies are legislated, politicized, and controlled. We have A LOT of power. And that threatens the status quo (Talkin to you GOP). No matter the method of a birth, it is always a victorious, miraculous, albeit painful and laborious act. Let's work to reframe birth & let women define their births in the best way they see fit. I celebrate this pumpkin (via @empoweredbirthproject). Happy Halloween!! #mamasunite #everywomanwillingeverychildwanted #mamasforchoice
