Summary: On Friday we hoped to speak live with Rowan Bailey, a birth advocate in North Carolina, where midwives are literally criminalized and Homebirth is virtually prohibited because mothers are forced to choose hospital birth or unassisted birth. We hoped to talk to Rowen from jail, where she was taken because she assisted a mother in excercising her own human right to birth her baby where she chose. Unfortunately she was unable to contact us during the live progra. I was able to talk to an attorney during the program, Hermine Hays-Klein. We also spoke with Leigh, Rowans wife.
