Cesarean Awareness Network, Intl. is hosting a Capitol Hill [Washington DC] showing of Ricki Lake's "The Business of Being Born" on Thursday May 8th, 2008.
ICAN has the unique opportunity to influence law and policy makers with our perspective on the difficulties faced by women trying to plan the best and safest
birth for their children, while negotiating the pitfalls of modern obstetrical practice. By hosting this showing, we have the platform to request Capitol Hill's investigation into the loss of birth options and the skyrocketing induction and cesarean rates along with the recent increase in maternal mortality.
This also represents a chance to make ICAN recognized as the premier consumer education, support and advocacy group for maternal and fetal health in the United States and the World. Any endeavor of this magnitude is an enormous commitment for a grass roots organization such as ICAN. We depend on you, members and supporters of ICAN to help us make this incredible dream a reality.
Help ICAN make an even bigger difference in the lives of women and their families by giving your time and resources to this momentous opportunity. Together, we can change the world.
