Don’t scream, it’ll only hurt a minute

In the world of Tom Cruise and Scientology, a woman is not allowed to become loud when giving birth.
If I’m pushing something the size of a watermelon out something the size of my nostril, everyone within a 10 mile radius is going to know. I’ve heard different stories that either a woman is not allowed to make any noise or it has to be at a minimum. Whatever, dude.
I don’t think that whatever god a woman believe is going to condemn her if she grunts, moans or let out a blood-curling scream.
Scientology is your thing, and you don’t think a woman should make a noise while giving birth, then that’s great.
For some reason, I can’t get behind a religion that a science fiction author made up. J.R.R. Tolkien invented a language, but do you hear people speaking Elvish?
On a side note: There are roughly two more weeks until school is out for the summer. Say it with me, everyone, “Hallelujah!”
