It's more than irritating to read some of these comments.  Bad, dangerous, hospital; good, saintly midwives!

  Heather did not have anything positive to say about OHSU, but these professionals, who did not have the luxury of knowing anything about her, saved her baby's life, and probably hers as well.  Not enough warm fuzzies in a hospital?  Maybe just having a healthy baby in your arms should be enough.

I have a friend who coaches teenage girls basketball.  He says the only physical contact he has with his players is a high-five when they do well. He will not drive any of them home or be alone with one for any reason.  I think we have to be very careful with any new laws, or no one will want to coach young people for fear of going to prison.  What about false claims?  Although we all want punishment for sex offenders, an innocent person falsely accused is unacceptable.
