Midwifery

I have researched and learned more than I knew about midwifery. I think its so much less painful on women versus having a child in a hospital. some medications given in a hospital that are suppose to help with the mother's pain, instead is harmful to the child. Though i believe midwifery is to a certain extent a profession, I believe it is illegal in Alabama because it is seen as an unsafe and unhealthy birth. Also, if women showed a great deal of interest in midwifery, hospitals would be losing a lot of money.

I think legislation would be challenged if women are better informed of their reproductive justice rights. Women have the right to decide how, when, and where they want to give childbirth. Therefore, I do not understand why midwifery is illegal not only in Alabama, but other states also. I think legislation should make midwifery legal. The practice should be open to the women who have the right to have their child how they want to. If women disagree with the practice and choose to have their baby otherwise; the hospitals are there to go to. reproductive justice allows the woman to choose ho she wants to give childbirth.
