New Canadian organization for midwives concerned for freedom of conscience

Sean Murphy*

A new Canadian organization for midwives has been formed.  Canadian Midwives for Life describes itself as a not-for-profit group that attempts to speak for Canadian midwives “who recognize the dignity and inviolability of human life from the moment of fertilization.”  Among the objectives of CMFL: “Understand their own personal boundaries in midwifery practice and the implications of conscientious objection.”
