Standing together

Empowering Birth Blog


First they came for the unassisted birthers, but I did not speak out, because I do not free-birth.
Then they came for those who birth at home with lay midwives, but I would would not speak out, because I would not have a home-birth with a lay midwife.

Then they came for those who birthed with Certified Professional Midwives, and I would not speak out, because I would not have a home-birth with a CPM.
And then they came for those who birthed in birth centers and with Certified Nurse Midwives, but I would not speak out because I would not have a birth in a birth center or with a CNM.
And then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
