[quote=Anonymous]If you believe that she had a right to choose an abortion (killing the fetus), she DEFINITELY has a right to choose the way she gives birth (to a fully developed fetus). Babies die in hospitals too and mothers die at a higher rate.

And even if you do *not* believe in abortion, she even *more* has a right to a homebirth where she has a lower chance of a c-section (and thus less risk of needing a medical abortion in the future).

Even naturopath (natural or "lay" midwives) know when to transfer to a hospital. There is so much false info out there but statistically a homebirth is SAFER than a hospital birth. 0 risk of an unnecessary c-section. 0 risk of an infection from a sick person (or from an eager nurse/doctor sticking their dirty hands up the pregnant woman -- which actually happens frequently). 0 risk of unnecessary drugs getting into the baby's blood stream.

One thing that you must consider -- the bad birth was IN a hospital. I don't know a single person who had a bad birth AT home -- not one. And all my friends and I all home birth. Of course, some of them did transfer (with certified and lay midwives) but they all ended up with healthy babies. The only people I know who had babies die (either in utero or immediately after iwth SIDS etc) were all planned hospital births -- mostly scheduled c-sections.[/quote]
