It matters how babies are born.
Whether the mother is richer, poorer, younger, older, straighter, queerer, single, partnered, polite, mischievous, wild, pious, lucky, struggling, pink, golden, or chocolate, she and her family deserve love, respect, appropriate evidence-based medical care, helpful resources, and support.
When a child is born, the future begins, and so does a whole lot of laundry.
