When actress and producer Salma Hayek arrived in Sierra Leone in September, she was not whisked off to a movie set. She was there not as a celebrity, but as a humanitarian, to see firsthand a leading cause of death in the developing world: tetanus. “Nightline” co-anchor Cynthia McFadden went along to document the journey.

A bill that would create a state board of midwifery and provide more options for women who wish to give birth at home has cleared the Wyoming Senate.

The bill heads to the House after passing the Senate 28-2 on Thursday.

Currently state law permits only certified nurse midwives. A certified nurse midwife is a nurse with a master’s degree who is licensed by the state Board of Nursing to deliver infants at homes.

With health care costs high on the national agenda, advocates of home births are challenging the medical and political establishments to give midwives a larger role in maternity care and to ease the state laws that limit their out-of-hospital practice.

Pending bills to further this goal have significant backing in several states, which home-birth supporters want to add to the 25 states that already have taken such steps.

Nationally, a group called the Big Push for Midwives marked President Barack Obama’s inauguration with an e-mail campaign urging him to ensure that midwives who specialize in home births are included in deliberations on federal health care reform.
