Save the Date! Midwifery Bill Hearing on 7/28/2009

Here’s an update on the MA Midwifery Bill. The bill, now known as MA Senate 847, will be heard by the MA Senate on 28 July 2009. If you can join us at the State House for the hearing, please do! Babies and small children are welcome participants on visits to MA Senators and Reps and are welcome in the Gallery during the hearing. Please use your judgment, however, as the day can be long (we will not know when during the day we will be testifying). While we would love to have as many families as possible, we also realize that sitting still for a couple of hours may not be in everyone’s skill sets–adults included! For more information and updates, please keep checking our blog and the MFOM Yahoo newsgroup: MA_Friends_of_Midwives@yahoogroups.com. Thanks so much for everyone’s ongoing support!
