It is amazing that midwives have survived as long as they have in New York. The head of the NY State Assembly is a notorious personal injury lawyer who has stopped all efforts at reform. No Daubert reforms for NY…just endless vast junk science Cerebral Palsy Hoax payouts. This is the worst area in the USA for obstetrics, except perhaps for Dade and Broward Counties in Florida.

Say a prayer for the NY OBs and midwives. It appears to be all they have going for them.
