As you know, I was able to choose to give birth to Lilah outside of a hospital under the care of midwives.
The men of the South Carolina legislature don't feel like it's "safe" enough, and they are introducing a bill that would essentially eradicate this option for women in the future.
If you are so inclined, please sign this petition to oppose the bill (you need not be a South Carolina resident to sign) and share it with your friends. This doesn't just affect South Carolinian women; this is something that if passed would be used as precedent to pass similar laws in other states.
Pro-choice, right?
