    From the page: "Some women feel the most comfortable giving birth in a hospital with an OB. Some feel comfortable birthing with a family practitioner or midwife in a birthing center. Others feel comfortable birthing with a midwife at home. All of these are options are safe choices, so why is the American Medical Association (AMA) trying to outlaw home birth?"

    "The first intervention in natural childbirth is the one that a healthy woman does herself when she walks out the front door of her own home in labor. It is from that first intervention that all others follow." -Michael Rosenthal, OB/GYN Spread the word!

    Wow, I didn't know the AMA was trying to outlaw home birth! It would be interesting to compile all the statistics re: home vs. hospital births to compare and see if home is really that dangerous for low-risk pregnancies. (Er, probably not)

    So what now? What can we as women, or men who support women's right to choose, do? You can sign the Keep Home Birth Legal petition and I also encourage you to spread the word about this. Feel free to grab the button (which links back to this post) and put it in your sidebar or blog about this on your own blog. Get the word out there that the AMA is trying to take away our rights. Home birth is a choice. Let's keep it that way.

    Homebirth illegal?? That's outrageous.

    The AMA is CLUELESS on lots of issues and this is just another one. Vote for Michael Moore! :) (and watch his movie Sicko)

    The AMA wants to outlaw homebirth--Crunchy Domestic Goddess says it is a woman's choice.

    Why Homebirth should remain a woman's choice, not the AMA's.

    Women need a choice and the AMA needs to takes a step back.
