Modern Midwifery.

Midwives in New York need our help. Free Our Midwives is campaigning the New York State legislature to pass the Midwifery Modernization Act before the summer break. This is a piece of legislation that would free NY midwives from the archaic and patriarchal requirement of having an obstetrician ‘approve’ their practice & would allow midwives to function as the independent healthcare providers they are trained to be. Please join me in contacting NYS legislators to show our support of this legislation – let’s give it ONE BIG PUSH and get it passed this session!
Here is more information about the Act itself

And here is what you can do to help:
1) Please pass this call for action along to all of your friends, family, & midwives especially those living in New York.
2) If you live in NY, click here to find out exactly who to call/write.

She works as an assistant professor of psychology at a small, private liberal arts college in the Hudson Valley of New York. Sarah has always been interested in childbirth, an interest that peaked after the life-altering homebirth of her second child in 2007. In her 'spare' time she organizes an online community of homebirth supporters and advocates for normal birth by serving on birth discussion panels, speaking, teaching, and researching the culture of birth.
