The CS rate is now on the decline in the US, I will see if I can find the source for that tidbit, but I read it in the last few months. So I like to hope that the message is getting out there women ourselves must take back not only the power, but the responsibilty, of birth and pregnancy choices. I agree with PZ. In this day and age, there is no excuse for a middle class woman not to use the information she has free and very easy access to to inform and empower herself.
