sorry to bother you all again. I've just learnt that the link didn't work.
Plese try this one.
<http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/australianhomebirth>
Also if you go to the HBA website www.homebirthaustralia.org
Scroll down slightly and click on the link where it says save private
midwifery video, it is very inspirational and gives some idea what homebirth
midwifery is all about and what women would be missing out on if this choice
isn't made available to them.
Blessings,
Rachael

> It doesn't matter if you personally choose to homebirth or not. The
