Birth Centers in Trouble

Hey friends -




Ok, I'm not usually one who'd big into politics or bills or anything that has to do with government. BUT...my birthcenter and others are in trouble. I don't know how to explain exactly what's happening but basically Congress is trying to pass something so that Birthcenters cannot be paid for by ladies who have Medicaid. Now, this might not concern you if you're one of the lucky ones who has medical insurance but this does effect other women and could affect the birthing center you might want to go to later. I know my birthing center I used for Zoey, over half her business is Medicaid women and if this passes it will shut her down and then I would be really sad (and you don't want to see me sad).



So, what I'm asking is that you go to this website and follow the 7 steps that are listed to let your voice be heard regarding this issue. Now those of you who really know me know this isn't something I would normally do because it's WAY out of my comfort zone, but I really feel strongly about this issue. We, as women, have the right to choose where and how we give birth. I don't judge other ladies who choose to give birth in a hospital because it's their choice, and I should get to choose too!

**Now the bribe in this is that EVERYONE who posts a link to the above site or my blog post will get something specially made by me for them (you just have to comment back here so I know). You all know how crafty I am and so I know you're all excited about that! The trick is this needs to be done in the next week or two because I guess the bill is going up for vote pretty soon.



Thank you thank you in advance for helping!

(Look I even posted a picuter of me on here, you know I must feel strongly about this issue to post a picture of me!!!!)
