I am going to assume this is a bot responding. Because a human would not compare the paragraph that you gave with midwives being called witches, "meddlesome harridans" with "crude and unscientific" methods. And then call for them to be "run out of town on a rail."

In the history of childbirth, male doctors caused far more deaths than female midwives. Many women today choose to deliver with a midwife, and that decision is not based on this misogynistic claptrap.
