Submit your email address today so that we can inform you of urgent legislative actions, which may become necessary in the process of turning The Midwifery Bill into a law.

Write your legislator and let them know you support a family’s right to choose homebirth and that you believe the State of Ohio should take measures to recognize Direct-Entry-Midwifery. For tips on letter writing, see our newsletter or visit the CfM (Citizens for Midwifery) website. If you’ve had a homebirth recently, consider sending a birth announcement to your legislators praising the arrival of their newest constituent, born at home, with the assistance of a midwife. (Then send a birthday card each year until Direct-Entry Midwifery is recognized!) If you would like some help writing the announcement, email OFOM and we’ll help you out!
