"This is not about freedom of expression, its about money and I would hope citizens would refuse to buy the boards," said LeFrancois. "It‘s sort of a sad statement about society. We see so many images of violence against women, we‘re at the point where we can put them on toys or sports equipâ€" ment and make millions of dollars off them." Halton Regional Police said the boards in question depict scenes of minor violence and nudity, but do not transgress current obscenity laws. (Continued from page 1) Bev LeFrancois of the Halton Rape Crisis Centre said she saw the boards and found them demeaning to women. She said the issue of censorâ€" ship "is a red herring." Boards not obscene say police She said that in the United States, major insurance companies are beginning to insure patients for 24 hours from the moment they step into the hospital. As well, she notes that most midwives have their patients out in between six and 12 hours. "So we are seeing a growing shift in this area," she said. And she stressed if there were other circumstances or a complicated birth, the new mother would not be held to the 24â€"hour discharge. "I think there has been a growing change in the way we see birth â€" that it‘s a healthy, happy event, rather than a disease. And there‘s a lot to be said for resting better at home with your own pillow, your own food, your own bed," she said.

Under the new policy, mothers having Caesarean sections would be out of hospital in 72 hours. Some mothers and babies may qualify for additi(;rrlslflservices as the Early Obstetrical Discharge Program. One of the most important services offered to new parents will be a 24â€"hour hotline to the hospital.

In the past month or so, doctors have been distributing a letter to maternity patients explaining the new policy and urging them to talk with their doctors. A letter to Cukville physicians drafted by two docâ€" tors â€" Dr. Terry Riley and Dr. Joy Armstrong â€" pointed to the need to explain the policy to patients.
