    <title>BirthAction</title>
    <description>“We aren’t simply changing birth for ourselves…we are changing birth for the women of the future.”

BirthAction was born in 2008 out of a need for grassroots action from women. We want women of all walks of life to come to BirthAction and say “I was heard” or include their voice in our work.

BirthAction is an organization founded by mothers for mothers, from mainstream to radical, to help each woman have a better birth through offering support and education. The BirthAfterCesarean arm of BirthAction is aimed at helping counter the cesarean epidemic through supporting women going through the birthing process.

We can make a change for our sisters, our friends, our daughters.

We are here to listen to your stories, share your needs and answer them in a timely fashion. We want to answer your needs and offer you a forum to come to and give your talents and time in helping other mothers. </description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;It's all I've been able to think about today...the fact that this starts tomorrow and standing here, I'll have the chance to see firsthand and be a witness to this process that could bring us further into the light or send us stumbling back into the virtual dark ages where women's autonomy doesn't matter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://birthaction.org/Blogs/tabid/66/EntryId/61/NIH-VBAC-Consensus.aspx&gt;More...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
