  To that PROUD Anonymous Woman who has the audacity to defy authority

  You said:

  "Hit a nerve did I? LOL. I am not defying authority, because those like you who are supposed to take up that title have abandoned your responsibility, leaving people like me in the lurch and having to read and make ourselves our own authority—but who cares?"

  Dr. Amy obviously does. Dangit, she cares! She spent all last week debating me over at the NHS Blog doctors uc birth post.

  Read the comment section http://www.haloscan.com/comments/drcrippen/2029178939062274389/ not only are we UC Moms not allowed to give birth alone...we are not even allowed to be in on the debate!!!

  I've come up with an analogy to this birth debate she so passionately defends with her stats, charts, studies, and FACTS, likening it to marriage.

  I MUST take issue with your cavalier and sarcastic attitude.

  I am an authority on marriage and must set you straight.

  Did you know that over 50% of marriages in America end in divorce?

  I have compelling statistics that prove marriage is damaging to a womans financial stability, children are a pain in the butt, and home making is only for the stupid dolts in our society who have nothing better to do with their time.

  And here you have the gall to think that you could be one of the women who can actually get married and endure it to the bitter end?

  How dare you!!

  Don't you know that marriage is a risky business, damaging to women, and I won't even go into the divorce that is sure to follow, complete and total devastation.

  How dare you think that you, you proud woman, could ever have a successful marriage, especially without any professional marriage couseling and help?

  The stats are against you having any sort of success, everyone knows that Americans are just too selfish to make it work properly, so just give it up....now, stay single."

  Thus sayeth the all knowing master of statistics and facts, Amy MD"
