  Again - the training is wrong.  I have given you two website dona.org and icea.org that will verify the training.  The article in the WSJ is also just someones opinion and as you state opinions do not make them facts.  I wish you would be more open minded about how you choose to define the work doulas do and do not do.  The WSJ article is almost is 10 years old.  A lot changes in 10 years.  You need to update your facts.
