Thank goodness Missouri legislators are trying to repeal a bill allowing
direct entry midwives to deliver babies.

Someone has to stop these people who induce before due dates, rush women
through labor with pitocin, vacuums and forceps and ill-timed pushing.

We have to more closely regulate people who rely on monitors and forget to
use their sense and their senses and .  .  . Oh, wait!  That¹s not midwives,
that¹s some other guys.  Never mind.
