An update on midwifery Regulation in Hawai'i & an unpacking of the pros and cons of regulating midwives and mandatory licensure. We clarify misconceptions, lies, rumors, and dig deep into the power dynamics of regulation. We lovingly engage with this touchy subject to grow understanding of the various side of the argument. And to grow compassion so we can grow as a diverse community. Hawai'i Home Birth Task Force report: https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/search/isysquery/6df7becf-e862-4996-a2d1-a1f399b1da5d/1/doc/#hit1
