You'll need a careful definition of "Birthing Center." There are birthing centers that are stand-alone clinics, birthing centers that are next to hospitals, birthing centers that are part of hospitals--and midwives work in all 3, as well as in standard hospital settings and in homes. (Also--midwives incorporates several different types of practitioners, with different trainings.)
That said, 5-10% of US births attended by midwives sounds about right.

Understanding that uncomfortable fact is the first step towards grasping what has been going on in this country’s politics for the last quarter century.
