BIRTH FREEDOM IN PENNSYLVANIA
Starts With You
BirthFreedomPA supports the continued practice of community-based, direct entry, traditional midwifery
Traditional midwifery has always been a historical part of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - even before its founding. It is in the public interest to ensure that all providers involved in prenatal, labor & birth, and postpartum care are able to practice to the full extent allowed by their respective training.
BirthFreedomPA seeks to protect the right of individuals to choose their care provider, type of provider, and the location of their birth without unreasonable burdens and barriers.
