A lovely singing response by Demetria Clark to the AMA's outrageous statements against homebirth midwives and mothers this past week.

How a woman chooses to birth should be based on her needs and what feels right for her and her family. She should be educated about her options and empowered by her choices. Wherever a woman is most comfortable, supported and heard is the best place for her to birth her baby, whether that be at home, a birthing center or a hospital. Throughout history women have fought long and hard for the right to make decisions about their own bodies. Birthing is a natural ability with which women come naturally equipped. Shouldn’t we be able to choose how and where?
