Iowa midwife Licensure Bill Going up for a vote!!
Thanks to all our efforts, we passed Senate committee. This week (maybe tomorrow), we’ll be going to the full Senate for a vote! It’s VERY important that your Senator hear from you in support of midwife licensure today!
The phone number for the Senate Switchboard: 515-281-3371.
Don’t know who your Senator is? Look it up here:

When you call, say, “I’m a constituent of Sen. __, and I’m calling to urge him/her to support SF 484, a bill to license Certified Professional Midwives.”
It’s simple! Call today! Together we can make this happen!
If you live in Iowa, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take a few minutes to support this cause. Please.
Wish I could support the effort! CPM's rock! :0)
I totally love CPM's, and all other well educated, well experienced and prepared midwives..but not in favor of licensure requirements.
I know there are lots of different opinions, and I totally respect all of them..I just find it sadly divisive among the midwife community and it's clientele.
I just wrote about my not being in favor of licensure on my blog.
I'm thankful my licensed midwife provided illegal care to me, but sorry it had to be that way due to mandatory licensure.
God Bless!
