The Big Push for Midwives is a nationally coordinated campaign to advocate for regulation and licensure of Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and to push back against the attempts of the American Medical Association Scope of Practice Partnership to deny American families access to legal midwifery care.

What legislation is Iowa introducing this year? Things must've changed rapidly since I left.
ReplyDeletethanks for bringing this to my attention.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting map. Thanks for posting...and btw, consider yourself tagged - ignore if you like, play if you like...
ReplyDeleteand hey lynette, are you the lynette I know from IC, and where are you/you had a baby?
Hi Jen,
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm that Lynette. I finished an MA in May and moved back to Saskatchewan. And yes, I had a baby in mid-December.
Turns out my suspicions were right and the map is wrong: Iowa isn't introducing legislation this year. Those involved are hoping for 2009.
