[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate how every thread where someone asks for information to support a birth choice they’re making freely (not being coerced uninformed into) gets derailed by one extremely anti-vaginal birth poster. The OP is entitled to the information she asks for even if you think vaginal birth is the devil and we should all have mandatory c-sections.[/quote]

Wanting people to be informed of the risks of vaginal birth instead of just hearing about the risks of C sections is not anti vaginal birth. It’s pro consumer, pro woman, and pro choice. Hiding the realities of vaginal delivery and promoting it to women as the best way to birth (a practice that has origins in the belief that women need to experience the pains of birth due to original sin) is masochistic, and Antiwoman. It’s also what, ironically, underpins a lot of the ideology of midwifery, which is a profession that badly needs to embrace evidence and science instead of having large contingents of its practitioners be largely unqualified (CPMs, CMs) with little more than HS education and a bit of training.
