Witch Hunts!!(Under Construction)

Some of these are older and are included here as an indication of recent precedent.   Newer prosecutions/persecutions have been listed here.

• Boots at the Door
• Daily Egyptian 04-02-97 Local midwife defends home birthing method
• Kentucky Board of Nursing Sues Direct Entry Midwife Details the persecution of Mary Ann Watson.
• Midwifery Alert A request for help for New York midwife Roberta Devers-Scott.
• Midwifery Crisis!! A request from Virginia's Friends of Midwifery to help Martha Hughes.
• The State vs. Midwives A Battle for Body and Soul An article on an unfortunate case in Maryland. Long and interesting.
• The Trials of an American Midwife She Fights to Keep Delivering Babies at Home A frustrating 1995 article by the New York Times. See what I think is a response here: Midwives lash back at critics.

Current Causes...

• Soon, I hope.
