Midwifery has had its share of problems as far as recognition inside and 
outside of the classical medical community. Sure there are lots of "routes 
of entry," but the CNM still has the advantage in so many ways. The CNM is 
not only certified and registered, but LICENSED as well, which is one 
designation the CPM's do not have. This actually compares nicely to the 
difference in backgrounds of licensed, registered LC's and those without 
the "additional credential." Like Jennifer, I would like to know exactly 
WHO was included on whatever panel drafted the new SOP.
