Ah, the doctor bashing continues.
Do you truly think that obstetricians do not keep abreast of all the latest evidence and try to make the best suggestion to their patients? They are not out to harm anyone. In fact quite the opposite. Inductions most definitely have their place in modern care of mums and babies,

I personally would much prefer a natural labour over an augmented one, having had one of each, but if I need to be induced in the future I will be. If it is in the interest of keeping my baby or myself healthy, I would not hesitate.

If I was to be one of 100 women being induced to prevent one stillbirth, I would do it. Some of the decisions on risk are not clear cut, the tools there are to predict risk crude, but that is not to say the risk does not exist. And to say otherwise is Counterproductive at the least and possibly dangerous.

With a few exceptions the decisions are rarely black and white. Many health care providers, midwives and obstetricians alike could communicate better with the families in their care, but I don't believe the vast majority have motivations beyond good outcomes for all.
