From a feminist perspective, I think it is problematic to assume the power dynamics of a male/female relationship are ever 50/50. That is a very loaded statement I know, but on iPhone so can't explain further now...except to say society in general puts more weight on the opinion of men, even when it comes to birth (think of how male dominated obstetrics is)...so I think it's vital women get the majority of the say in her own birth. No one wants to put their life or baby's life at risk, so I think we should trust women to make the best decision for her and her baby.
