Release the Homebirth Death Rate!


Release the Homebirth Death Rate!
The Issue
The Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA) has assembled a database of over 27,000 homebirths attended by their members. They publicly boasted about a low C-section rate, low intervention rate and a low prematurity rate. How many babies have died to achieve that low C-section rate? For the past 4 years, MANA has REFUSED to release the death rate.
American women need accurate information to make an informed decision about homebirth. Until MANA releases the number of babies who died at the more than 27,000 homebirths attended by their members, women will lack access to critical information that they deserve.
