1. You will need to research some of the problems with US maternity care. Your research should include at least three (3) outside sources (media, newspapers, academic articles, etc.) As always, Wikipedia is not an acceptable source. It may be a good starting point to find other sources, but Wikipedia cannot be used as a source itself.
