Ultimately it would be nice to have a country which supports any wish or plan of mum.
But surely not at a risk to the health of mother or baby?
Should a woman who wants an elective CS at 35 weeks because she is 'over it' get one? Should a woman whose baby is at 44 weeks with placenta starting to fail, NOT be given a clear picture of what will happen should she refuse intervention?
I know they are OTT examples, I use them to try & make a point.

Yes ideally ALL women would be supported in any choice they make. But you would hope that those choices were informed & educated choices, that she fully understood all of the benefits and risks of what she was wanting to do.
You would hope that 'strong-willed' didn't mean 'close-minded' (and I'm not referring to your friend, just using your words ) - you would hope that a women making a particular choice was prepared to listen openly to gain a full understanding of what she is undertaking.

THAT is what BB is all about IMO - giving women that education & information so that when they make those choices, they do so being informed & knowing what they are doing.
It's not about making people feel cr** about their choices. It's about empowering those choices so that women are better able to make the right ones for them.

ETA - I post this as someone who has had 4 children, and really only became even a little bit informed when baking baby no.4. Do I wish I knew way back then what I know now? Hell yes!! If only I had had BB when I was PG with my first 3...
I concede that part of the reason I am so comfortable with my failure to BF my first two children, and with my induction & CS with umber 3, is due to the fact that I didn't know better. I am able to say 'oh well - I did the best I knew at the time' (and mean it). Maybe had I known more, I would feel more disappointed with how things went. But I would still rather have had the knowledge.
