Some Hospitals Banning Photography During Births

Some Hospitals Banning Photography During Births
MARYLAND HEIGHTS, MO (KTVI - FOX2now.com) Should you have the right to photograph or videotape the birth of your own child? More and more hospitals are telling nervous dads to leave their cameras at the door.
This controversy is getting attention thanks to an incident in Haggerstown, Maryland where a couple having their eighth child was told no photography would be allowed. They're furious, but it's a practice that is becoming more and more common.
The hospitals that ban photography say it's so medical teams can pay more attention to the task at hand. Critics argue that it's more about hospitals fearing iron clad evidence in malpractice suits if something goes wrong.
