MO Midwifery Bill: Stillborn Again
This story is many years old!However, it is really relevant to our loss of medical freedom in the US.
Quotes: "Advocates of home birthing will not likely see passage of a bill legalizing midwifery this year, but they're counting the current legislative session as the most successful to date."
"That's mainly due to maneuvering by Sen. John Loudon, a Chesterfield Republican who twice brought up the bill, SB303, for voice votes before his chief opponent, Democratic senator Chuck Graham of Columbia, could react."
"Missouri is the only state where midwifery is a felony. Home births are legal in Missouri, but a certified nurse midwife in attendance must be under a doctor's supervision." (Red text added. Story is years old.)
"Doctors who've spoken against legalizing lay midwives cite a lack of training and the fear of increased malpractice liability for physicians who associate with them. The bill's principal foe has been the Missouri State Medical Association."
(I think this is how the infamous "they" manage to hoover up the DNA of virtually every child born as well as stamp them with a social security number immediately. Plus begin the vaccine pogrom within moments after birth.)
(Democrats seem to oppose medical freedom and educational choice. You don't end up with children to commoditize if you don't get the children into state custody and "care".)
