They are not playing Russian Roulette with other people lives, 1) they are not forcing anyone to have a home birth 2) midwives receive extensive training more so any midwives in the US and they know exactly what do when it comes to pre-eclampsia 3) a surgeon will be close by or even in the same place in case anything…

So long as they don't count crowning as facesitting.

It is saving money but by suggesting to go to a birthing center instead of hospital it is freeing up beds for those who need it. Also maternal mortality rate in the US is a lot higher than UK so i would trust NHS over any American healthcare.

I don't know why I read that as "I had my son at an airbnb," which actually seems like it could be a great idea.

Cue the mommy wars and anecdotal stories in 5,4,3....

......did we even read the same article? Personally, I think hot women posing seductively with carp is pretty universally funny, no matter where they hail from. I think the bitterness you're tasting is coming from your own mouth.

Yet another German with a terrible sense of humor.

Please make this a regular series. Kate Being Overlooked For Calendars + Shade Court = Perfect Jezebel.

I wondered why Gary Glitter's Rock & Roll riff continued to be played in US stadiums after his exposure. Did they not hear the news?

listen. With those stats, it must be the case that your body looks great, as well as your butt. Please don't worry about it, and let your wife massage it tonight.

Come on now. Pregnancy is your own fault. You don't deserve special accommodations for something you choose to do, as opposed to something outside your control like losing your license due to repeat DUIs.

1) She spends a lot of time in the song talking about how awesome it is that it's for charity, and how the most important thing is that it's for charity, and oh, yeah, it's raised a lot of money for charity. So, no one's dismissing that. I'm sure this video will bring *more* money to the charity.

It's actually a practice called memento mori that, in essence, is ancient. Facebook may be the newest incarnation of it but there is a whole genre of photography dedicated to it. To each, their own. :)

Nothing has made me want all police to wear body cameras like hearing a rookie cop in-law brag at Thanksgiving about picking out random people in black neighborhoods to stop and frisk and how awesome it was that everyone was afraid, so they would do whatever he and his buddies wanted. I'm sure there are some good cops…

This is so powerful coming from a black man. Also, the media only wants to talk about black men when they're shuffling in shackles on the news, or doing something fucked up, so spreading this positivity is so important. I wish more men were on his team.

I just think Terry Crews is the most delightful person, and that opinion is compounded every time I watch him in an interview. I even love the way they initially cast him in Brooklyn 99, which is as a sergeant who has to stop working in the field for a while because he gets panic attacks at the thought of dying and…
