The Anti-vaxxers Take Over

The natural-birth movement intends to reclaim childbirth from the predominantly male medical establishment.

But, @regmunch.bsky.social argues in a new feature, its aversion to medical interventions can endanger women's lives.

Here's a conversation I enjoyed with Tom Robbins on his WBAI Radio show "Deadline, NYC." What happened to Bob Menendez? I recalled him as a young man who demonstrated much integrity when he started his career in Union City, N.J., where I was a cub reporter. www.wbai.org/archive/prog...
