Prosecution of Midwife Casts Light on Home Births

I doubt that this is the kind of national attention the current politico's in Indy would actively seek, yet they're ultimately the ones responsible. We Hoosiers can be such idiots at times: note that the midwife was not accused of causing the death, and that the parents of the deceased child aren't the one's pursuing the charges. And we're supposed to be "business friendly"? Ha! Check out the Indiana government licensing page for an idea of what kind of regulations businesses suffer under here - and yes, I do have an Egg License. I'm legal!

A baby's death prompted charges against a midwife in Indiana, one of 10 states with laws restricting midwifery.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
