There was a similar article in Australia a while back, basically saying the same thing - that over half of the Obs they surveyed said a woman should have the right to choose a c-section without any medical reason. Interesting that they won't also agree with a woman's right to choose a home birth. Major surgery with no medical indication? That's fine. But a relatively inexpensive (to the govt), low risk, unmedicalised, vaginal birth at home? Oh no that just won't do.
