I have seen purple "Midwifery Matters" bumper stickers around the place. Who makes these?
Friends of the Birth Centre (Qld) have "a midwife helped me out" with a picture of a baby in blue, white and yellow. We sell them for $2 each to cover costs of a small print run. Mostly tho' we give them away. I agree with Cas that Maternity Coalition, as the umbrella organisation, should be the central organisation targetted with a bumper sticker. I think almost all of the slogans below would belong on a bumper sticker. The one that jumps out to me is "women in the know know a midwife" but maybe it's too subtle? It does bring the element of consumer choice into the debate though, so that's why I like it. I think a generic bumper sticker is a great idea! Jodie Miller Friends of the Birth Centre (Qld) BTW, the slogan Cas said I suggested was firmly tongue in cheek!
