Pushed Birth has an overview of the push for midwives movement.

“Nevermind that you haven’t heard the candidates debating a woman’s “right to choose” where, how, and with whom she gives birth. Activists are thrusting the issue onto the political agenda anyway, from all sides of the ideological spectrum. Last week in Chicago, a nonpartisan coalition of consumer advocates launched The Big Push for Midwives campaign to license certified professional midwives in every state. Currently these trained midwives, whose competency in caring for normal birth is supported by rigorous study, cannot obtain a license in several states, which forces them to practice underground, which isn’t good for anybody.”
