I am beyond excited to share the news that the Midwifery Modernization Act passed in the State Assembly and Senate this week, making home birth legal in New York again! Read more about this exciting news, as well as more information about the amazing grass-roots campaign that resulted in this exciting triumph for birth rights, at FreeOurMidwives.org.
