 Kentucky families deserve midwives video Kentucky Midwifery Taskforce (KMT) is pursuing licensure for Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs). This video was created for the purpose of educating consumers and legislators on the need for out-of-hospital birth providers in the state of Kentucky. "left">Kentucky Midwifery Taskforce (KMT) The Kentucky Midwifery Taskforce is a grassroots organization dedicated to the purpose of legalizing Direct-Entry Midwifery. Working through political means and activism, we hope to ensure that women have access to expanded midwifery options in Kentucky. We will strive to create an environment in which Kentucky birth professionals and consumer citizens are able to work jointly towards that purpose. Our goal is that trained midwives, regardless of certification credential [e.g. CPM or CNM], be able to practice legally and with professional autonomy. Our belief is that more women will choose homebirth, birth in free-standing birth centers, and birth with care providers who provide the Midwives Model of Care in mother/baby friendly hospitals if those options are available in their communities. The Kentucky Midwifery Taskforce may act as an umbrella coalition under which other organizations can work together to achieve these goals and further these beliefs.

| Re: Kentucky families deserve midwives video I find it hard to believe that in so many parts of the USA a midwife isn't legally allowed to attend a home birth, in 2008 I would have thought it would be the norm. Shows how wrong you can be i guess.
