- Intelligence and thoughtfulness for Gen Y
Love these ladies. The right balance of politics and pop culture with Gen Y flavour. Just a note for the story on free birth death. Home birth is different to Free birth - which is without any medical support - and what Stacey chose and what Emily supports. The info on home birth is not a match. There is no research on Free birth complications and death. :)
