If you live in Illinois, the Illinois House is supposed to vote on this bill in about 10 days. To read the bill, please go here: Homebirth Safety Act Bill 3712 House Amendment 001

This bill will help CPMs and DEMs in IL practice legally, improving the care of homebirth moms and legalizing the process so families are not "harassed" by DCFS when there is a homebirth.

Please do whatever you can to get this bill passed!

Thank you!
