The Bauhauswife Podcast

Yo responds to the NBC article, discusses freebirth in the context of radical feminism, responsibility & rights, and touches on why standing for women's rights is totally congruent with opposing the sex and surrogacy industries. Contact Yo or book a session at  www.freebirth.ca. 

Do you lie to your kids about Santa Claus? I won't lie to my kids about Santa. They are going to get the straight-up truth.  This is (truly) one of the most controversial topics I've ever covered, and yet every year, I receive messages and emails from women asking me to re-publish this essay. It's become one of my classics!  Find out why (and how) I stay true to my convictions around Santa, and Christmas.  For my courses, visit www.freebirthsociety.com For my website, see www.freebirth.ca.

In this episode, Yo gets inside her own head and looks at some philosophical ideas as to why ultrasound is so prevalent, as well as discussing the lack of evidence that ultrasound is safe, a couple of studies that have shown that ultrasound damages cells, animal studies, and the economic machine that drives ultrasound use.
