Human rights must always be factored into decision making. Women should never have to give birth without a partner even if they are COVID positive. Thank you to Christina for bravely sharing her story & to @MayaOppenheim for covering. Legal advice is here bit.ly/3b1Odf4

Day 2 #BasicBirthRights #TheBottomLine: When you make a request of a maternity service, they must start from "yes" . If you are told no you must be given a good, evidence-based reason.
