So as anybody who knows me already knows, I am passionate about birth and midwifery. Women have been attended by midwives since the beginning of time; midwifery is not the practice of medicine! Home birth midwives aren't in it for the hours (they work all of them) or the money, they do it to be with women. It's a calling really. And here in the US, unlike most of the rest of the world, we harass midwives instead of honoring them.
To hear one woman's story check out: http://www.nofelonieformelonie.org/ Melonie is a midwife in Iowa who can no longer work as one because she's been charged with practicing medicine without a license. Maybe you could buy a tee shirt to help her with her legal bills. Meanwhile in Missouri they're working to change the fact that midwifery is a felony there. (And you thought witch hunts were a thing of the past.) http://http://www.mamaroots.com/FreetheMidwives.html And they are also selling shirts and other goodies to raise money for the cause.
And if you want to hear more about what's going on with our children and vaccines and circumcision check out these great interviews at http://www.Modavox.com/WomensNetwork
