So…I was watching the trailer of Ricki Lake’s new documentary on the maternity industry that was posted in the last post, and my COUSIN is in the trailer. That is SO WEIRD. I mean, I think it’s her; if not, it’s her twin. Anyway, she’s the one saying, “This is pitocin, which is the medicine given through the IV that causes contractions.” I’ll have to make a phone call to doublecheck, but Rachel, you’ve met Stacie; is that her?
Update: It is her. She’s a maternity physician’s assistant in Long Island. Weird.

I remember it’s where they took Coach Byrd when he broke his neck too.

We are going to see that film next Saturday. I’m excited, ICAN is sponsoring a morning showing at the local art theater.

You’ll have to tell me how medicalized my cousin is heh. She didn’t even know the reason she was being taped; I’m sure birth is a medical procedure to her.

We can’t get anyone here to host this film for anything. ‘Too controversial!’

A midwife friend of mine is on the q and a panel at the showings for it here this week. I wish I could get away to go see it! I hope Blockbuster will make it available to rent online.
