And, like, it's not that I don't entirely get the home-birth thing. It's just, if you're going to do it, why the hell wouldn't you have some pre-natal care, at least so that you can make sure that when you're home all by your lonesome having your kid in a bathtub, you won't end up with two little feet sticking out of an uncomfortable place, or an anencephalic surprise, or a sick baby who dies in your arms but would have been saved if you'd given birth in a hospital? I mean, hell, there's even one notable circumstance listed in that Wiki entry.
I can't even wrap my brain around being that goddamn selfish.
