   Comments: All women should have the right to choose where to give birth and to have access to professional assistance in that setting. Homebirth has never been shown to pose greater risks than hospital birth and has significantly lower rates of interventions. Homebirth should be expanded not reduced and providing a legislatively friendly atmosphere can only improve homebirth safety. We need a new model of maternity care in this country that is not dominated by the financial interests of OB's and insurance companies but rather by the needs of women and children. Homebirth offers a model of care unmatched in the mainstream medical community.

   Comments: I have the right to choose when and by whom to become pregnant. I have the choice whether or not to continue that pregnancy. Up until the point of birth itself, I have total legal say over the life of my unborn child (as opposed to the father). I should have the same right when it comes to the birth of my child (assuming it is a low-risk pregnancy). My body was created to deliver a child which my womb has grown. To say that we are physically unable to do so without the intervention of the medical system is an afront to God. You are basically saying that you know more about my body than the One who created it.

   Comments: It is women's BASIC right to choose where and with whom they want to birth. ACOG and any government entity has no legal or moral right to impose or restrict women in their right to choose. Women are the best authorities on their own bodies and birth and are prefectly capable of choosing for themselves their health care. Trying to eliminate homebirth fas an option is illegal and immoral. ACOG is a (biased) economicaaly driven professional organization that has their own power and control as guiding forces....not the rights or best interests of women. Additionallly they ignore the volumes written about the safety of home birth and continues to be unable to control their own members increasing c-section rates and poor outcomes. They need to monitir themselves and restrict their own misuse of technology and consider the very good evidence demonstrating the safety and benefits of home birth.

    Comments: I don't know that I would ever give birth at home, but a lot of women choose to and it's their right to make that decision. Do not let the government take any more of our freedoms away from us.

    Comments: As a mother of 4 with 2 previous cesearans and 2 homebirths, I emphatically support this petition due to what I encountered during my last two pregnancies in that I was refused the option of a vaginal birth in a hospital. So I exercised my right to have my babies at home under the care of a midwife.

    Comments: Were women for hundreds of years before hospitals wrong to have their babies so unsafely at home Is that why the C-Section Rates have soared and the infant mortality rate still not getting better I wish banning home births was the answer - but it isn't. Leave women alone to do what women need to do in the comfort of their own home. Birth is NORMAL, not a medical condition!!!

    Comments: I believe in science and technology, but I also believe in our mystery and our spirit. We come from different walks and we are able to make decisions such as where to birth, no one knows our bodies as well as we do. Many people do and should weigh in on pregnancy and childbirth, but the ultimate decisions should be chosen by the mother individual.

    Comments: As a homebirth mother of three, a doula, and a childbirth activist, I fiercely object to this blatant disregard of the civil rights of women, not to mention disregard for the scientific data that repeatedly demonstrates the safety of out of hospital birth. I strongly hope that the medical establishment decides not to pursue this outrageous course of action.
