We are moms from Dothan, Montgomery, Huntsville, Mobile, Birmingham, Auburn and everywhere in between. We birth our babies in hospitals and homes. We educate our children at home, in public and private schools. We love our midwives, doulas and doctors. We vote Democrat and Republican. We are churchgoers, or not particularly religious. What brings us together is our belief that birth is a natural process, that birth should not be tampered with, and most of all, that decisions about birth belong to mothers. We educate ourselves about the process of birth in order to keep our babies safe. Safety is the reason we choose to give birth in our own way. And safety is the reason our legislators must legalize Certified Professional Midwives in Alabama. |
The
Alabama Birth Coalition is a grassroots network of parents committed to
improving access to natural childbirth options for women, families and
communities in Alabama. Our goal is to protect existing
childbirth options and to gain access to options currently
unavailable in the state. A secondary goal is to promote the rights of
parents to make appropriate health care decisions for their families. |
