Vatic Note: Let me begin by saying the photo below is not of the woman of this story. Its simply a picture of a midwife after delivering a baby. But it serves the purpose of showing just how innocuous such a woman is and thus no threat to anyone. In fact, to many women, she would be a comfort. If I had had children I would have definitely gone midwife. Add this story to the one we did of the chicken owner on his property, legally, who ended up blowing up his property and himself, and this is simply going to get worse, not any better. So, its time to start thinking outside the box.... THESE ILLUMS CREATED for us to abide in. We must now start to create our own boxes and begin living in them enmass. Government can only function "WITH" our consent. Without it, they are toothless. We just have to decide and find a way where we can come together and agree on what we will not follow in their illegal and unconstitutional laws. Once we agree and everyone bonds to do it, then they are dead as doornails. They simply do not have the man power or loyalty to pull it off across the globe with billions of people, unless they do a mass killing which is what they are planning when Nibiru shows up and causes some excitement, Its a Rahm Emmanual "Never let a good crisis go to waste". Then they can control history by blaming it on Nibiru. That is where our power lies, is in their dilemma. Onced we know and pass it around, they have lost the advantage of surprise or ignorance..... we can engage in passive resistance and ignoring government and all its repressive legislation and take out all the elite bankers and their controlling country. This is just one example. Any additional and better ideas are more than welcome.
Women's birthing rights advocates stage protest in response to arrest of Indiana midwife
Thursday, April 12, 2012 by: Jonathan Benson, staff

(NaturalNews)
Though she has reportedly assisted in the successful delivery of more than 1,700
babies, 400 of which were born in their families' homes, 49-year-old Ireena
Keeslar, a former obstetrics nurse-turned-midwife, was recently arrested on
charges of practicing midwifery without a license. And at her hearing in
LaGrange County, Indiana, on April 9, 2012, more than 100 supporters of all ages
came out to protest her incarceration, and take a stand for women's birthing
rights.
Practicing midwifery in the state of Indiana without being a
licensed nurse is currently illegal, which makes it extremely difficult not only
for midwives like Keeslar to practice, but also for women who prefer a more
personalized and natural form of childbirth to receive the proper care of their
choice.
Even certified practical midwifery and direct-entry midwifery are
illegal in the Hoosier State, which greatly limits women's birthing options
there.
According to BlogHer.com, Keeslar was arrested in the early
morning of Saturday, March 31, for no specific reason other than that
authorities had found out about her practice and decided to pursue her.
Keeslar's many years of experience as an obstetrics nurse are technically not
enough to satisfy the legal requirements of Indiana for midwifery, even though
she had never reportedly had any issues with deliveries -- to the contrary, her
services were in high demand all across rural, northeastern Indiana, where home
births are common and growing in popularity. (VN: Whatever you push for, alludes you and acts like a demagatized event. It pushes away that which you seek, and that is why midwifery is increasing in demand, becuase the powers that be are pushing in the opposite direction, that which you put out will attract to you instead.... The bigs guys haven't gotten that yet, have they?)
Indiana obstetricians fear, oppose midwifery because it cuts into their
business
Some local obstetricians in Keeslar's area claim that midwifery can
be dangerous, and that it should be regulated or illegal except under certain
circumstances. But others who are more "in the know" about how midwifery
actually works deny these claims, and believe that the real issue concerns
profit loss.
"It's all about the money. People who have money in Parkview
Hospital in LaGrange County want to do away with our midwives," said Dr. Cal
Streeter, D.O., a 37-year veteran in medicine that has long-backed midwifery, to
BlogHer.com. "It's as safe to have a baby at home as in the hospital.
Most of the problems in obstetrics are doctors trying to hurry the process up or
slow it down."
For the entire day of her arrest, Keeslar was forced to
remain in a dirty prison cell, wear a prisoner's uniform that was too tight and
that cut off her circulation, and be fed meals that were improper for her
diabetic condition. She was even reportedly refused access to her insulin
medication, until finally she was released on $10,000 bail.
On the day of
Keeslar's hearing, more than 100 men, women, and children showed up on the
footsteps of the LaGrange County Courthouse to protest her arrest and take a
stand for birthing rights. According to Richard Muntz, Keeslar's attorney, the
hearing was waived and a plea of "not guilty" was declared on Keeslar's
behalf.
A few weeks earlier, 47-year-old Jeannie Stanley of nearby
Albion, Ind., was arrested on the same charges of practicing midwifery without a
license. That investigation reportedly led to authorities discovering Keeslar's
practice as well.
"I think the arrest of midwives is a waste of taxpayer
dollars," said Mary Ann Griffin, president of the
Indiana Midwives
Association to the
Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. "Indiana should
legislate and not litigate."

I think it is ridiculous for her to be charged for this. Women have been giving birth FOREVER and in the past, the people delivering babies were not always licensed. Do we really need this. In fact, why can't women just deliver their own babies. I have been reading Unassisted Childbirth by Laura Kaplan Shanley, and realize that unassisted birth really does make sense, and it isn't as scary as I once thought.
