A note on Sotomayor

I haven't posted on the Sotomayor story because it's already been so widely covered. But I do have one thing to add to the existing commentary. Sotomayor is a former member of the board of directors for Maternity Center Association (now called Childbirth Connection), which is a group that advocates for evidence-based maternity care, fostering informed decisions and control of maternity care on the part of mothers, and increased birthing options and midwife education in the U.S. And that kicks ass.
