Thank you for posting this Betsy!
  I attended a performance of this play at the Motherhood center in Houston yesterday.  It was WONDERFUL!!  So inspiring!  
  And I agree with Betsy, this may seem off topic but they are indirectly linked.
   
  As supporters of normal human lactation we should all support improved maternity services for all women.  At the very least this play gets a wonderful discussion going about what women are experiencing in childbirth today- women need to share their birth stories more!  And talking is just the begining of change.  What came through loud and clear in this play was not that all women should have "A" or "B" to have the "best" birth, but that women should have the information to make informed decisions to have the birth THEY want- cool!  It's about making birth experiences better for women.
