Ricki Lake vs AMA

The AMA (American Medical Association) wants to have it out with Ricki Lake over the subject of childbirth! Ricki recently produced a film called the Business of Being born, which looks unfavorably towards hospitals.  

More pics after the hop…

Ricki wasn’t by any means bashing hospitals, however.  TMZ says the film is about midwife aided home delivery…which is safe right?  That’s how babies were born for thousands of years before the AMA! Ricki’s film discusses how it has become a business and a huge income for all babies to be born in hospitals…and she is right.  Home births can be safe too. 

Do you think the AMA is right to diss her?  Is she being responsible when she suggests a mid-wife birth at home is an option for mothers?
