This is why Shanon (Director of BirthAction.org) is my very best friend in the whole world. You rock Shanon!! This is from the NIH VBAC Conference March 2010.
Good on her for standing her ground - but what an APPALLING state of affairs that after one c/s and three successful VBACs, she cannot find an obstetrician willing to 'let' her have another VBAC, all telling her she MUST have another unwanted VBAC and she has no right to say no, to withhold consent and no recourse. She is right - it is a human rights issue. Coming soon to Australia. The obstetric take-over of midwifery and natural birth options is the coal-front of feminism.
SO true!!!! when will people, especially women, listen??????
