This morning K and I got up early and went down to Shelbyville court house to protest the prosecution of a local midwife. (Below is a link to some local reporting. There's plenty more, I decided to rein it in and keep it simple here.)
There really is no need for this prosecution to even be taking place, however it does shed light on the fact that Indiana is one of the states in the US that has no recognition for the cerfication that Jennifer has- Certified Professional Midwife. There is legislation currently being worked on (Bill 1237) that would change this, and make this whole prosecution a pointless waste of tax payer's money if that bill goes through.
K and I went, chanted and marched with our friends. She was a midwife assisted birth, and she knows it, so she has a curiosity about all this. (She also remembers Landon's birth.)
After seeing the rally this morning, I am eager to get to help where I can to get Bill 1237 passed.
