		<description>Well said, Nanda.  And welcome to the ranks of the reluctant activists.  

If I may put in a couple of plugs for birth activism:

Foundation for the Advancement of Midwifery  harvests money from the greater community (tax deductible) and makes grants to projects which promote the midwifery model of care.

Citizens for Midwifery  is a grassrooots group of and for consumer activists...Moms &amp; Dads.
