Everyone needs to have the right to choose where & how to birth thier own baby.

Women should be able to choose home birth with the safety of a midwife, and a midwife should be able to deliver a home born baby with the safety of not being sued. Makes sense.

It is the women's choice to birth how she wishes, removing insurance & policy supporting that choice is dangerous and unethical for all involved.

Women have charge of their own bodies and make considered and thoughtful decisions to birth at home surrounded by those who love them the most.

We need to get with the times. Home birth is so common in the UK. Come on Australia!!

Let women birth at home with the assurance that a professional midwife can assist them if need be. This should not be a government issue!!!

The definition of risk and how this insurance can be made available needs to be closely considered and available to Private Midwives.

As women, we deserve to birth our babies in the way WE wish to. To take away this option is cruel; something needs to be done to enable private midwives to continue providing quality care and support for home birthing mums!

Every woman should have the right the birth her way. If she chooses to birth at home then the professionals that assist should be covered. Our birth, our way!

This is so important. We need to give woman more rights, not less. Rather than pushing woman to birth in hospitals, this will push woman to free birth! Bad news.

I think what these women do are beautiful, should be no reason to stop such an amazing thing.
