A tribe devoted to understanding, protecting and asserting the Rights of Childbearing Women, including the rights of INFORMED consent and refusal of procedures, protocols and treatments in a "free" market health care "system" typically driven more by imposed economic imperatives than science-based evidence, respect for human rights or compassion for the well being of mothers and infants.

As a pregnant woman, you heve every right to try to have "your baby, your way" --but it's not always easy to get the system to cooperate. This tribe is a place to explore ways of increasing the possibility that you will. See related resources at BirthPolicy.com
