Choices would be good
Yes, women should be encouraged to make their own choices, but when very few of them are really offered the choice of a home birth, because MD's are generally strongly opposed, then they have no choice.
We have a 1 in 4 rate of c-sections in this country. This is not OK. There is no way that these numbers make sense from a medical point of view. OBGYNs are most often terribly uneducated about childbirth. They over-manage and mess things up. They're just trained to do this and there's no arguing with them. So good for Ricky if she can raise some awareness.
