I didn't mean to convey an opinion on legalization, just to give a flavor of how laws get made. If asked, I'd say check the states that allow midwifes from one of the national accreditors and see how it's going. If it isn't a flaming train wreck then give it a go. (There is an underground midwife trade in the state. I know people who have had assisted home births. It does put the midwife in an awful legal position if something goes wrong.)
