rally

this last month my family participated in a rally at the Oregon state capital. the midwives were there, rallying for lower requirements, and we were protesting them. you see, in Oregon, no midwife is required to carry a license, and many do not.it is one of only two states that allow this. To further iterate- that means ANYONE can say "i am a midwife" and charge money to attend human births. that means there is NO regulation for these woman and no accountability or consequences if they make mistakes. we protested along family who have buried babies, families that have babies who are permanently damaged from their births and woman who are permanently damaged from their births. we have a huge bunch of 37 balloons , representing babies that have died, or been injured and mothers who have lost their wombs in their homebirth attempts.here are pictures from the event

to the oregon midwives

a little bird told me yesterday that some of you have been talking about me...that some of you are very distressed that i am coming to your fair city. Some of you are worried i might shake things up, and topple your stauts quo-

thanks for making my day!

i hope any crappy cpms or unlicensed "midwives" are shaking in their boots at my arrival. I have great plans to change Oregon's midwifery situation to something that benefits mothers and babies- not woman who are too lazy or ill informed to get a real education or license.

if you refuse to get a license- i have no respect for you
if you have dead babies under your belt- i have no respect for you
and if you keep yourself in business by emotionally manipulating your clients - i have no respect for you

i also am not afraid of you- you have no power over me....


see you soon !
