[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 previous C sections, morbidly obese - lots of risk factors here. I’m very pro choice even though I really dislike abortion simply because I think an unwanted child is a tragedy, however, I’m mulling over this whole thing since we’re talking about full term babies who will possibly suffer lifelong consequences from a poor decision, but I still have concerns about female autonomy.

+1 But will it stop at the morbidly obese woman who may have required a c-section after all? What if you are thin, went through pre-birth classes, exercise and eat well, have a seasoned doula, and feel confident that you can get through a rough labor (I'm sure there are more than a handful of us on this site who fit this description)? For women in Florida and similar conservative states, are all bets off now? Can the hospital bring in the state because you're in labor a little too long for their taste and they know of a great judge who has a few minutes to yell at you from an iPad?[/quote]

You're not going to like this answer, but the two women whose personal accounts were relayed in the article clearly didn't have an OBGYN that supported their decision and that was present at the labor.

The on call doctors didn't want the liability. [/quote]

I think if the mom can't have it both ways - she can't use the resources of the hospital and completely ignore their advice. If she wanted freedom she should have delivered at home.[/quote]

Yeah, why is she using a free government financed hospita--, oh, in Florida patients pay for their own hospital care?

Imagine if you walked into Walmart and they called the court to force you to eat a pepperoni pizza. [/quote]

Patients have (or should have) autonomy. Providers also have autonomy. Physicians and nurses are not puppets for her to order around, and they don't have to do what she wants.  [/quote]
