(1) Midwives offer reproductive health care and maternity and newborn care to clients seeking midwifery services;
(2) The improper practice of midwifery poses a significant risk of harm to any client receiving midwifery services and may result in death; and
(3) The regulation of the practice of midwifery is reasonably necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of persons choosing midwifery services and their newborns.
