Cowgirl Pearl Breitbach
Cowgirl Pearl has been an outlaw in the realm of homebirth for over twenty years. In July of 2004 (missing her first Starwood in eleven years) she was honored with catching her first grandchild, Alam Michael, a beautiful dark-eyed boy, and putting her 303rd notch in her midwifery belt. Now that her herd of five is nearly fully-growed, Pearl puts her spurs and reigns to use in the rhythm section of The One Hat Band, thumping her stand up bass. Journeying through her Chiron return, the true meaning of life is becoming clear. Rock and Roll!
Born In The U.S.A.
The paradigm should read that human childbirth, if left alone and enculturated without fear is SAFEST at home and in the guardianship of midwives. Many states, including Ohio, New York, and Iowa, have laws or Attorney General's Opinions that place lay midwifery into the category of "practicing medicine without a license" - a felony.
