[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually live in Nebraska and here’s my take: 1. Nebraska is the only state in the country where it is illegal for CNMs to attend home births. So mothers desiring a homebirth go underground to find lay “midwives” who do home births. [/quote] Sorry to take this off topic, but this is exactly why abortions should stay as an available safe and regulated option for women. Otherwise, they would just be forced to go “underground”.[/quote] I agree. As long as homebirth CNMs are fully licensed and there are rules in place for how to risk-out patients, and the risks are disclosed to the woman, it's a valid reproductive choice that should be permitted (even though I disagree with it). But then I think there will still be a core of weirdos who insist on homebirth for known breech, twins, etc., and may go underground (or unassisted!) anyway. But then that's really on them. [/quote]
