| 7 | Robin Garison | The point is to have safe, healthy, children and mothers. It has been proven time and time again that this can be done both in the home with midwives and in hospitals. Let's release the control, breath, live without fear and let women make the choices that feel good to them in their hearts. |

| 10 | amy | you can try to out law homebirth but just has long as there are tests in school so there will be prayers in school,as long has there are babies being born,some will be born at home and on purpose! |
| 11 | Tarcy Hilen | You can't force a woman to have a baby where she isn't comfortable and doesn't feel safe. This is about money, not the safety of the women and children. Back off. |
| 12 | Jennifer Gadoua RN | I am a labor and delivery RN in a large hospital setting, and I 110% agree with this petition. Homebirth should NOT be made illegal! A woman has every right to birth in whatever environment she chooses - at home, a birth center, or a hospital. |
| 13 | Sheridan Ripley | I have had hospital births, but think that women should have the CHOICE where they want to give birth. Home birth is a safe option for low risk moms and they should have the right to choose. FREEDOM of CHOICE is a basic American right! |
| 14 | Anonymous | You cannot take away a persons right to chose. The very name of this "Father knows best" is demoralizing and patriarichal |
| 15 | Toni Rakestraw | Homebirth is a viable choice for healthy women and babies. Hospitals are fine when they are needed, and it is true that some women need to birth there, but certainly not every woman. Protect our rights to choose how we birth and what kind of provider we can choose. |

| 18 | John Rakestraw | If we give up our rights how can we honestly state that we are the home of the free? Please remember that our founding fathers were born at home! |
| 19 | Lauren Kelly | Women have the best, safest labors and births where they feel comfortable, secure, and respected.
Homebirth ought to be the norm, not the alternative birth environment for women. The fact that the AMA would dare speak against the midwives--the very women who have been protecting birth for all these years--is offensive and speaks more to their incompetence than knowledge. |

| 25 | Veronica Lacquement | I will not be forced to receive medical care in a place or from a person that I do not prefer to receive my care from. |
| 26 | Jennifer Davis | |
| 27 | Danielle Wakefield | I absolutly object to these resolutions
to restrict a woman's right to choose
a home birth. Not only is it contrary to scientific evidence but a
violation of women's basic human rights. |

| 31 | Denise Chastain | Where a woman chooses to birth is a basic freedom that should NEVER be denied |
| 32 | Constance Fisher | Women need and deserve the right to choose! |
| 33 | Praise Fordham | Women deserve the right to choose. |
| 34 | Rachel Krauser | |
| 35 | Gail Neuman RNC | Women have been birthing at home since the days of Adam and Eve, and it's not going to stop because doctors want it to. |
| 36 | nancy | we all know the best place to pick up an infection is in the hospital...for mother and baby home is the safest as long as birth is normal with no complications..a woman has the right to choose which is best..home birth is best... |
| 37 | Jody F. Brown | As a mother of four all born at home, I wish to ensure that my daughter's rights to a home birth remain available for the sake of my unborn grandchildren. A woman's body is her own and SHE is the one ultimately responsible for making the choice of how and where to give birth. |

| 39 | Sarah Goldstein | ACOG should be outlawed. They are proven over and over again do sanction(or not) whatever suits their personal gain and the insurance companies (who are the worst perpetrators. Read "PUSHED;The painful truth about childbirth and modern maternity care" |

| 45 | Sharry Revillini | The government already has way to much of a power trip with their control. To try to control nature is wrong. |

| 48 | Melanie Gargamelli | I made an educated choice to have my second child at home with a better outcome then my first child's hospital birth. My CNM's were a blessing. |
| 49 | Kirsten Kowalski-Lane | The evidence is overwhelming -- in countries were homebirth is legal and where midwives and physicians work hand-in-hand to ensure the overall safety of women and babies at the time of birth the outcomes are best. These resolutions are an attempt to maintain ultimate control over a multi-billion dollar industry and over women's reproductive choices. |
