Midwifery is Reproductive Justice with Shanti Moore
This week, Simran is joined by SisterSong's very own Birth Justice Education Coordinator Shanti Moore to talk about maternal wellness and the history of midwifery in America. Get your next Pap smear from a midwife!
As promised, here are a few articles about the politics of home birth and midwifery across the states:
The Politics of Home Births in the US (very unfortunately behind a paywall, National Library of Medicine)
As Home Births Rise in Popularity, Some Midwives Operate in a Legal Grey Area (NPR)
State Ranking of Midwifery Integration Scores (Birth Place Lab)
Check out the documentary Shanti and Simran were discussing, The Business of Being Born.
