Maz, the point of RH's post is that she has a voice, a pretty bloody good one, and her story really underscores situations where the 'system' comes to believe it is more important than its parts - that is, when hospitals and medicos forget that for each woman they see it's another day at work but for the woman it's a unique and momentous occasion.
Clearly, there is still a lot of healing left for you to do, RH, and I do agree that there are situations where women are dehumanised in birth - this is more to do with being disempowered by others rather than not being empowered in yourself. I agree that others failed you, and that there was no failing on your part when you were clear in your intentions. When you've done all you could do, then it's a massive failing on those people rude enough to call themselves your 'caregivers' when you feel the way you do two years later
Publishing statistics of the breakdown of birth procedures is empowering to women. There is no downside to the situation.
