Scientologists believe children should be brought into the world without any fuss and be allowed to quietly get used to their surroundings. That means no music, no chatting and no expressions of pain from the mother. Preston explains, "It's just because everything in moments of pain is really recorded and you want to have that (the birth) peaceful and clear of sort of suggestions or different words that can then affect them (babies) in their future."
@@4evah!
Wow. The levels of stupid there are breathtaking.
...so optimally, the mother is unconscious?

I can't speak from personal experience, but I suspect the "no sounds or expressions of pain" thing won't last terribly long once labor really gets going. Especially without drugs.

SHHHH. Their lawyers might hear you.

Eh, I wasn't especially loud, and probably could have done the whole thing quietly, but birth isn't exactly peaceful for the kidlet, who's the one getting his or her head squished while he or she gets pushed out.
So, the notion that somehow being a quiet little woman while you do it makes it all better is... kind of absurd.
My family was in the meat business for three generations. I've seen vegetables that had higher IQs than cattle. I was going to things like openings of meat processing plants when I was a kid. I do think the time they gave toy lambs to the kids at the opening of a lamb processing plant was in questionable taste. "Oh, see the lambs. They're so cute. Let's kill them."
I'll give Tony Danza a pass because he seemed to be commenting on the double standard, not criticizing the pregnancy per se.
but how is it a double standard?

When I grow up, I'm going to go to Bovine University!
but how is it a double standard?
Yeah. I dont get it.
It's like, "msbelle, you don't like rhubarb so you can't possibly have a cat."
It doesn't make sense.
