Why do those opposed to natural birth always throw out these straw-man objections?  People who choose natural birth typically do so precisely because it is safer, not because we are hellbent on having some hippy-dippy sing-songy "experience."  There are risks associated with every single medical intervention.  Yes, if the intervention is necessary than you need to weigh the risks vs. the benefits.  But since birth is a normal life process, designed to function smoothly, then there is no reason to automatically introduce ANY medical procedures - until it is actually indicated.  I'm honestly not sure why this line of reasoning is so difficult to understand.  Hospitals operate under the assumption that if they provide MORE services and MORE medical interventions, than at least if they get sued they can claim that they "tried everything"; completely glossing over the fact that sometimes it is because of those interventions that the mom or baby developed certain complications.
