The link to the statute is actually in the body of the post. “HB 2163″ will take you to it. I’d love to see what you are working on as we look to broadening this law to include all maternity providers.

Hi,
We are legislating in Minnesota, and transparency and evidence-based care as a basis for liability (as opposed to only common practice) is on our agenda for 2010. We have legislative sponsors. Please send a copy or link to your statute. Send it to salane@ visi.com.
Congratulations!

A great idea! The VABirthPAC [www.vabirthpac.org] is the place to start the discussion. If you are not already on their yahoogroup, you can go to their website to get signed up. I think they are gearing up for this and other transparency based legislation.

Great! Now how do we go about getting similar legislation for OB’s? They should be held to as high a standard as midwives.
