At it again...

Well, the Utah state legislature is at it again trying to modify the existing direct-entry midwife law. It looks like I will be spending some more time up at Capitol Hill again this year. Senator Margaret Dayton has introduced a bill once again that would strictly limit the practice of direct-entry (homebirth) midwives in the state. We worked really hard at getting the current law passed three years ago and statistics are great so I really don't see any need for this bill other than the Utah Medical Association trying to assert more control over the practice of these midwives... Stay tuned for more developments.
