I am excited to announce that we now have a lawyer right here in Maryland who is offering free legal help to women facing VBAC hospital VBAC bans.  Her availability to do this work is between now and the end of the summer so it is important that we find a woman as soon as possible who is currently pregnant and facing one of the VBAC bans in our state.  Maryland currently has bans in place in Cecil County, Garrett County, and in Easton.  Please email any Maryland lists you are on and ask people to help spread the word so that we don't miss the opportunity to possibly be the first state in the country to take this kind of legal action.  Feel free to include my email address ICANofBaltimore@... on all postings.  Thanks.
