Nothing in medical literature today communicates the idea that women's bodies are well-designed for birth. Ignorance of the capacities of women's bodies can flourish and quickly spread into the popular culture when the medical profession is unable to distinguish between ancient wisdom and superstitious belief.

It is important to keep in mind that our bodies must work pretty well, or their wouldn't be so many humans on the planet.

I think that women can be just completely surprised by the change in them from giving birth-you have something powerful in you-that fierce thing comes up-and I think babies need moms to have that fierceness-you feel like you can do anything and that’s the feeling we want moms to have.

The Creator is not a careless mechanic.

When you cast doubt on some bodily function- you don't know how sensitive the body is to that kind of idea.

Why should nutrition matter less in the creation of young humans than it does in young plants? I'm sure that it doesn't.

The human species is no more unsuited to give birth than any other of the 5,000 or so species of mammals on the planet. We are merely the most confused.
