I think its coming back because it's so expensive to give birth in the states that "choosing" to have an unassisted birth (choosing in quotation marks because the options are medically assisted birth and crushing debt, or unassisted) is coming back in vogue.
Aside from the private person sovcit people, I think it's people who don't have a ton of agency over their circumstances trying to exercise control over the birth of their child.
About 1 in 10 babies need some degree of resuscitation though. Risky gamble. I do feel for the parents too, that this choice is more appealing despite the potential dangers. ESPECIALLY with no medical assistance during pregnancy too- are we breach? Are we placenta previa? Are there multips?!
America's failing institutions are causing some wild shit.
Meanwhile idiots will keep voting for conservatives, whom let the institutions fail by "starving the beast" while handicapping the institutions in various ways, legislating against those institutions, and then once they start failing they'll point to what they destroyed and say "see what i told ya? Government doesn't work", rinse and repeat.
