Hi All,
Tomorrow, thursday at 9.15 am. Brisbane Homebirth
community is comming together to support womens rights to chose where and how
they give birth. Some of you will know Claire Brassard, she has attended
women in Queensland for several years now and has recently had her files
confiscated by the QNC. She is not a registered midwife but that has not
bothered the many who have taken on her services and who love and adore this
wonderful women. Tomorrow Claire has agreed to attend the Supreme
Court in Brisbane to recieve and injunction to prevent her practicing in
Queensland.
While some of you may not agree with traditional
midwifery, it is a fact that many people chose these types of midwives because
of who they are and what they represent. It is a sad day for the Brisbane
homebirth community. However we wish to use this occassion to gain media
coverage for womens rights to choose. If you live in Brisbane and would like to
support this please be at the supreme court crn Adelaide and George streets,
Brisbane at 9.15 am tomorrow thursday the 13th to show your support. Bring
mothers and babies and grandma's and anyone who believes it is our right to
chose how we give birth.
We look forward to meeting you. We will be
supported by many who are not just for homebirth but for womens choice in birth
so please come along.
Claire has plans to leave Australia where she will
be registered through an alternative system and hopes to return in a year as a
registered midwife. On behalf of the homebirth community of Brisbane we
wish her every success and happiness and can't wait to have her
back.
Bless ya Claire.
