birth

Well... I suppose I should clarify the statement about midwifery being illegal... Midwifery itself isn't banned outright, it has to do with the type of midwife training that the midwife has. Direct-entry midwives are illegal in 11 states, and are legal but unregulated in 16 states.

There are two types of midwives, nurse-midwives and direct-entry midwives. Nurse-midwives (as one might guess by the title) are trained in both nursing and midwifery, and since they are nurses, there generally is no question that these women are trained medical professionals and they're licensed as such.

Writing about movies I've watched has never been one of my strong suits. Usually information that comes into my brain by way of the tube tends to literally go in one ear and out the other, but what I watched last night is worth mentioning... The Business of Being Born.
