Effectively two pieces of legislation will outlaw midwives providing homebirth care from July 2010.

Women will continue to homebirth, but will now be forced to do so without the assistance of a qualified professional.

It is unacceptable and unsafe to force a woman into a choice that is not optimal for her, whether that is a hospital birth or a birth at home without midwifery support. It is absolutely impossible to understand the governments position on this, other than to say that they have bowed to political pressure from medical lobby groups.

everyone needs to get togther and write letters to
The Hon Nicola Roxon MP at PO Box 6022
House of Representatives Parliament House
Canberra ACT 2600

or email Nicola.Roxon.MP@aph.gov.au

  • Come to Canberra for the mother of all birth rallies, on Monday 7 September, 11.30 am, outside parlament house. Spread the word among all who care about choice, freedom, and human rights. It is every woman's right to choose where, how and with whom she births her babies.

  • this is wonderful, thanks for putting this together - it was an amazing day, a show of passion & strength & unity - we will overcome
