The Salt Lake Trib recently had an article on homebirth. Hooray! An actual positive article where the option of homebirth wasn't "balanced" with some statistic-less scare quote by a UMA authority.
The main gist of the article was that finances is a major consideration in the birth-place decision. The article interviewed three couples: 2 who planned and achieved homebirths, and one who planned a birth-center birth and ended up having a cesarean. All three considered the cost of hospital birth while making their decisions.
If you are so inclined, you might drop the author and/or editor a line expressing appreciation for publishing an article on homebirth that wasn't sensationalized, and portrayed homebirth as a rational decision.
