In the Christian Science Monitor: Brief but well-written profile of a midwife who serves the Amish community in Lancaster County, PA, recently cleared of practicing-medicine-without-a-license charges. It's the kind of positive midwifery story you could forward to your in-laws, if you know what I mean.
An aside: One of the great things about the blogosphere (and the Internet in general, I guess) is that from time to time you learn which print publications deliver a good deal of top-quality writing and reporting. I've been nothing but impressed with the articles I've read at the Christian Science Monitor, for instance -- a publication I probably would never have picked up at a newsstand.
(Selection bias is always a possibility. Maybe people tend to link to the CSM only for its good stuff, ya think? Still, I think I'm going to start reading more of its articles and find out if the writing is consistently as good as the non-random sample I've gotten through links.)
