I saw a statistic yesterday on the internet from amnesty which said that states with a CS rate higher than 33% had a maternal mortality rate 21% higher than those with a CS rate below 33%. The full report those numbers are taken from is here http://www.amnestyusa.org/sites/defa...lydelivery.pdf but I haven't read it so am making no suggestions as to it's validity, just repeating what I heard.
