This is birth. The torture of an innocent!
It is futility to believe that so great a cataclysm will not leave its mark.
Its traces are everywhere – in the skin, in the bones, in the stomach, in the back. In all our human folly. In our madness, our tortures, our prisons. In legends, epics, myths. In the scriptures.
Dr. Frederick Leboyer, Birth Without Violence, 1975, p. 30
