silent labor my ass

From today's yahoo entertainment and the Tomkat hullabaloo (ick):

In other reports, when it comes time for the actress to give birth in several months, it has been suggested that Holmes will attempt a silent labor in keeping with Scientology tradition.

The practice encourages mothers to be to forgo painkillers and to refrain from screaming or even talking as they bring their children into the world. Scientologists believe that the silence reduces trauma during birth and prevents irrational fears later in life.

Refrain from screaming?????? WHO'S SCREAMING NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?! WHO'S GOT IRRATIONAL FEARS NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?
