Think middles ages. Think 70% mortality rate. Think black death, polio, measles. Think "hell yeah, give all of that to my child"

Home-birthing is more risky, but a “70% mortality rate” is leaving the area of “overestimation” and entering “lie” territory.

The neonatal mortality for US hospital midwife-attended births was 3.27 per 10,000 live births, 13.66 per 10,000 live births for all planned home births, and 27.98 per 10,000 live births for unintended/unplanned home births.

I couldn’t find numbers for births without a midwife.

Also, in 2020, the most recent year for which the CDC provides data, a total of 9 people have contracted the plague.

That stat is for "midwife attended" ie having a professional do it, not "me and my husband".

It's a price they're willing to have their children pay if it means they can vicariously live out their legal fantasies through them. Obviously all the trouble in their life comes from the government and creditors having some records on them so pump out a couple stealth babies while nobody's looking, [step 2], profit.
