I support women’s reproductive choice in birthing in Virginia.  It is very important to me that midwives in Virginia be allowed to carry and administer ALL emergency and standard maternal and newborn medications which they are trained and certified to use.  It prevents women from having full bodily autonomy when they cannot access these meds from their midwives when they have home births or birth center births.   I urge that the regulations be changed to permit Certified Professional Midwives to carry and administer these meds.  Thank you.
