To me, it all comes down to freedom: the freedom to choose. We're always telling people that we are here to give education, not to tell them what to do. That's the beauty of education; it frees your mind from treading down the same path just because everyone else did it. I think this is universal, U.S. or Guatemala or anywhere. Educated people should be allowed to make their own informed decisions on things like birthing, naturally grown foods, healthcare providers... I am very proud that these freedoms are generally guarded and respected in the US, and I hope that everyone keeps doing their part to keep it that way.
