It's not violent. Violence is a violation. There is no violation in giving birth. Do no harm is an ideal, then you have to think of interaction with others and what harm is done, and what receives harm, and how we can avoid that harm by doing other things instead. Self-defense in the face of wrong and power can indeed backfire when you stand alone, especially in an inverted world that supports or lets the wrong continue.
