Kaci Hickox tells the story from her perspective, and it's getting a lot of attention. I'd like to hear the story told from the perspective of the authorities who are said to have treated her with not just an abundance of caution but with disrespect and outright abuse.

What's it like: To have a planned home birth
Why do families choose home birth?
A woman might choose to have her baby at her home for a variety of reasons. For example, some women might choose home birth after being disappointed or upset with the hospital birth of a previous child. Other women might choose home birth because they want to give birth without medication, and they might feel like that option is more doable outside of a hospital setting, where an epidural, or an anesthesia generally delivered through shots in or around a person’s spine, are readily available. Some women might feel safer having their babies at home than in a hospital. Also, some families might be more comfortable with planned home births for cultural or religious reasons.
When discussing whether to have a planned home birth, it’s important for families to research midwives or physicians they would like to use, interviewing prospective midwives to ensure they are comfortable with their levels of experience and practices. Also, it’s important to have a birth plan in place to ensure that the family knows what will happen in case of emergency.
