I'm pretty sure it's Sarah Michelle Prinze, these days... *whistles*

One of the reasons why Europe fares better with maternal mortality is because of the universal health care systems they have in their countries. So OB/GYNs aren't as concerned about making a profit by increasing c-section rates or reducing 'down' time by speeding up a woman's labour. OB-GYNs and midwives work together…

@SeriesofTubes: "Inevitably, there will be births where the baby and/or the mother will die without immediate surgery. If this happens in a hospital, an otherwise healthy mother and infant will almost certainly survive, if not, their chances are much worse. Anyone who tells you that these relatively rare but very…

@SeriesofTubes: 'A c-section, even an unnecessary one, is vanishingly unlikely to kill the mother or the child. '

@Femzoil2: Lying on your back is the absolute worst thing that you could do when in labor: it makes your contractions unbearable (I was doing fine until I got to the hospital), it stalls your labor because you can’t get your body into position to push or bear down.

@SeriesofTubes: But what many people fail to realize is that 'immediate' care in a hospital is not always given... immediately.

@emfish55: Well, Jezebel doing a small write-up or even a Dirt Bag byline on the movie is one way for it to start picking up buzz. It's not being marketed very well but that's hardly the exception where movies starring by POC, especially WOC are concerned. It's fairly progressive that a mainstream movie is being…

This is beautiful. I would have had one done if I could. And I think it's disgraceful that a supposedly feminist site is writing such a body-shaming article. The only WTF in this story is the person that wrote this article. Everyday, women have to fight against harmful body images that lambast them from the…

Hollywood is only responding to its audience. For example, Zoe Saldana's COLOMBIANA, an action movie produced by Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, Liam Nessons' TAKEN) is coming out this year but you would never know that from reading this site. It's a movie being made by a high profile director/writer with a bankable…

LOL! Don't worry. Perineal tears don't happen to everybody: I got lucky with a darling midwife who let me push on all fours and when my body told me too. Most people tear when they are forced to lie on their backs and are ordered to push - either because they are too doped up to feel their own contractions or because…

There are a lot of risks with formula-drinking as well. It wasn't too long ago that a major formula company did a massive recall because there was an incident of bugs found in the milk. Formula-taking also increases the baby's chances of getting allergies, asthma, ear-infections, obesity and some forms of childhood…

It's a bit less straightforward that 'HIV is transmitted through breastmilk'. My Mom is the Matron in charge of the Paediatrics unit in a teaching hospital in West Africa so she has a lot of information on the 'Baby Friendly' initiative. This is how she breaks it down when she explains why HIV positive moms are not…

Their response to the natural outrage of only 'opening' casting to White actresses was bad enough... But the showrunners rub salt into the wound by spray-tanning her? If they wanted someone that colour why didn't they just... open auditions to people that colour? Instead of restricting the candidates to White girls…

@LostBedStuy: Your mom was the exception to the rule. It's a scientific fact that the number of ovaries a baby girl is born with decreases exponentially throughout the cause of her life and that her capacity to carry a child to full term and go through labour successfully peaks in her mid-twenties.

So when are they going to make Tintin in the Congo?

@serafinadistoria: What I want to know is why Jezebel isn't pimping this movie at all? There is no mention whatsoever in any of the articles or dirt bag write-ups about an action movie starring one of the hottest talents in Hollywood right now. I don't want to jump into conclusions about racial profiling... but I…

@aLynHall: If you are going to disallow god because you can't poke him with a stick, you'll need to revise your beliefs about a lot of modern scientific theory.

This is so creepy. By giving the specimen 'faces', they look like dissected samples i.e. captured merman/mermaids that had been killed and cut open and not speculative guesses at all.

@bubbly*pop: That's because the Harry Potter books are not pro-feminist books, at all. Sometimes, I even regard them as anti-feminist. Sure, there are some interestingly three-dimensional characters in this story. But let's look at some of the messages Rowling puts across to us, shall we?

@FrankN.Stein: So why not Maggie Q's NIKITA?
