SHOW NOTES
So you tell your doctor that you want to decline something they routinely recommend and they ask you for a study to back up why you’re making that choice. Here’s my question — since when do we need a study to back up sticking with what’s normal?? God made women to give birth uninterrupted and without intervention. That is the way it has been since the beginning of time. Rather than require us to present some study to support our decision to do the way things have been done since the beginning, why don’t they present a study justifying why it is OK to depart from normal? Studies often carry all kinds of bias and conflicts of interest. You have to be very skilled and have a lot of time on your hands to weed through the details of studies to see if they are even worth the paper they’re printed on. Yet we have thousands of years of evidence supported by the evidence of God’s design to back up doing things His way. Today we’re going to talk about that.
