mother and baby during labor and delivery when it occurs naturally. There are numerous
biological and mental/emotional benefits as the mother experiences the pain of childbirth, and
then experiences the joy of seeing a child enter the world.

John 16:21
A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has
given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has
been born into the world.
[NKJV]

This is a profound matter, going all the way back to the third chapter of Genesis where Yahweh
declared that pain in childbirth would be the experience of the woman in this world. It is a
serious issue for Christian women to seek to alter the natural order established by God. They do
so to their own detriment, and to the detriment of their children.

Although I am unable to locate a study on the issue, the rise in the incidence of C-sections
parallels the rise of homosexuality in America. Before you roll your eyes, and declare that I have
truly gone crazy, I ask you to consider this matter prayerfully. Beginnings are a very important
time in the life of an individual. Seemingly small alterations from the normal order of things at
the beginning of a matter can manifest in large ways later in life. I am NOT suggesting that C-
sections are wholly responsible for the parallel increase in homosexual behavior. Nor am I stating
that everyone who was born by C-section will succumb to homosexual sin. What I would suggest
is that Satan works along many lines, and that the increase in birth interventions, including pain
relieving procedures and C-sections, have played a part in making a generation susceptible to
gender confusion.

Certainly the outpouring of pro-homosexual propaganda by the government and the media bears
a lot of responsibility for the increase of same sex attraction. Yet, Satan will wage an assault
along numerous fronts in order to achieve his purposes. One of the fronts along which Satan has
attacked is designed to erode away the profound gender identity of the woman as a mother and
nurturer that is deeply rooted in the soul of a child that experiences natural childbirth and is
nursed by their mother. By replacing natural childbirth with unnatural medical interventions, and
then further disrupting the bond between mother and child by reducing, or eliminating
breastfeeding, the gender distinctiveness, and feminine role of the mother, fails to solidify in the
child’s mind.

There are many things passed between the mother and child during labor and birthing. That
which is communicated between mother and child is both physical, pertaining to the human
body, as well as mental and emotional, pertaining to the soul. On the physical level, that which is
passed between mother and child includes hormones such as oxytocin. Wikipedia contains the
following statement.

Oxytocin plays roles in sexual reproduction, in particular during and after childbirth. It is
released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, facilitating
birth, maternal bonding, and, after stimulation of the nipples, breastfeeding. Both childbirth and
