Thou Shalt Not Shackle a Woman Who Is In Labor

That is the opening sentence in a blog post by Rachel Roth on the RH Reality Check blog. Her piece is entitled "Federal Court Condemns  Shackling, Vindicates Woman." If you think the women's movement has completed its work in the United States, I suggest you read this story!
