It is a true statement that complications are caused by intervention. That is a fact.
NOT ALL COMPLICATIONS ARE CAUSED BY INTERVENTION - is definitely true also. So, I can see where you are concerned however, why not the concern about the inaccuracy of statements such as "ITS NOT SAFE TO BIRTH AT HOME"????

Birth is a natural and normal event for most women. Women who are having a premature birth would not be supported by a professional at home. No one with any credibility would want to have a bar of that. It most definitely would not be safe to have a premature baby at home.

It's so true that many many obs enter into their profession for the wonder of childbirth. However, very often the wonder gets lost. The VERY best skill a childbirth professional can have is the skill of watching and waiting all the while being mindful of the sacredness of birth. This is what is very often missing. I was at a recent birth where the obs came into the room. Put his arm on the back of the labouring mother and proceeded to sit in the corner of the room and watch. He watched for 3 hours while playing I spy with a 2 year old until that baby was born. This is a skill that is missing in MANY obs. Many of them wouldn't DREAM of being this basic.
Now, this isn't because they are bastards. This is because they are working in a system that doesn't support the needs and the spirituality of birth. They have appointments to maintain, sleep that they are deprived of, insurance that is crippling so God help them if they make a mistake or a seen to not be doing anything...

An obs sitting ona stool in the corner of a room would be an outrage to many women. They are paying this guy so he should be DOING something. Birth is about the mother birthing. It is NOT about the obs. Yep, if there is a medical indication bring on the medicine. However MOST births DO NOT REQUIRE A MEDICAL INTERVENTION - MOST.

So, I for one look forward to this doco!!!
