    What's the difference?

    What's the difference between freebirthing and having the baby in the taxicab on the way to the hospital? Maybe the papers filter out all the stories where it ends with the death of the child, because I can't recall one where there was a problem with the baby or the mother.

    Our child was born in a hospital, but that was for my wife's fear that something bad may happen to our child, and my fear that something bad may happen to my wife.
