SEACOAST NOW VBAC PROJECT


    In September, 2004, Seacoast NOW learned through a member that the Seacoast area hospitals (Portsmouth Regional Hospital, Exeter Hospital, York Medical Center, Frisbie Memorial in Rochester and Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover) have a policy prohibiting vaginal birth after cesarean sections (commonly referred to as VBACs). We consulted with area physicians and determined that the policy infringed upon a woman's right to choose her birthing method.

Visit our VBAC Project Action Page to learn more.

Visit our Action Page to learn about other opportunities to take action.

Join us at a chapter meeting to talk about this important project and to get involved.

"We envision a world where women's equality and women's empowerment to determine our own destinies is a reality;

We envision a world where women have equal representation in all decision-making structures of our societies;

We envision a world where social and economic justice exist, where all people have the food, housing, clothing, health care and education they need;

We envision a world where there is recognition and respect for each person's intrinsic worth as well as the rich diversity of the various groups among us;

We envision a world where non-violence is the established order;

We envision a world where patriarchal culture and male dominance no longer oppress us or our earth;

We envision a world where women and girls are heard, valued and respected."
