One wonders what process the American Medical Association House of Delegates used to determine that its resolution on home deliveries was prudent and reasonable.
AMA resolution 205 attempts to outlaw a woman’s choice to give birth at home or in a freestanding birth center by calling for legislation to establish hospitals [...]
