What's Crazy About Biking to the Hospital to Have a Baby?
The stir caused by New Zealand minister Julie Anne Genter’s journey to an Auckland hospital says more about us than her.
Congratulations to Julie Anne Genter, New Zealand’s minister for women and associate minister for health and transport, who made global headlines this weekend for riding a bike to have a baby.
Specifically, Genter biked to Auckland City Hospital on Sunday to give birth through induced labor. In an Instagram post, she wrote, “My partner and I cycled because there wasn’t enough room in the car for the support crew... but it also put me in the best possible mood!” she wrote.
