The final sequence of DVD 1 moved me to tears. Gaskin exhibits her Safe Motherhood Quilt which implores us to more deeply examine the rising maternal mortality rate in the US. She told stories of the preventable deaths of many of the young mothers who had died and were given a square on the quilt as an ode to their life. Ina May Gaskin's quilt honors deceased mothers and babies and raises the question: Why are we losing so many mothers in this country due to negligence, unnecessary interventions, protocols put into place for the sake of convenience, and due to no after care or follow-up once mother and baby are home.
