PhotoShop Contest: The Anti-Doula Sign in the Utah Obstetrician’s Office
You’ve probably seen this sign:
It’s obnoxious. It’s anti-woman. It made you uncomfortable. Maybe you shrugged and thought, “Well, better to know that he doesn’t give a crap about the science behind continuous support in labor before you’re actually in labor.” Because you know… anything besides someone in a white coat or scrubs performing a procedure on a woman to make birth happen can be dismissed as anti-science woo.
The sign is begging to be spoofed and that’s where YOU come in.
Edit this photo and post it to your web site, blog, Facebook, twitpic or a photo storage site (like Photobucket), copy and paste the URL in the comments and I will post it on this blog entry for all to enjoy. If you’re having trouble uploading it, e-mail it to unnecesarean *at* gmail.
The winner (to be judged by me after 1 (one) margarita) will receive a copy of the The Birth Partner
Deadline is Saturday at noon (Pacific). And, yes, I’ll ship internationally.
Go! Here’s a blank…

You're too good, Jill. :-) I can't wait to see these babies.
That looks a lot like a marijuana plant in the bottom right hand corner.Iguess then you wouldn't feel the need of doula support !
Can I tell you how much I LOVE this contest??? I don't know if I'm linking this right but here it goes.
Capital idea!
Can we enter more than once? Not that I can guarantee more than one, but just in case the muse alights upon me . . .

Hi all,
Squarespace doesn't automatically link URLs in the comments or allow for embedding (boooo). I just copy what you paste, open a new window, paste the URL, retrieve pic, and post on the blog entry.

I haven't seen the sign - do you have a clickable one that will expand the original photo?
Oh no! I thought the thumbnail opened up the larger sign. Fixing that...
Allahu Akbar you all are so creative I busted at the seams with the first sign :) Keep it coming, this is great! I hope the clinic enjoys their gift copy of the book!
OMG this is the greatest thing EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!! I Love them all but I especially love Ashley's. So succinct and perfect.
Oh, what FUN! Here is mine!
