    Back Alley Births

    THANK you for writing this!  I agree that this issue goes hand in hand with other women's rights issues, specifically abortion rights. It seems that this is the latest way to take away a womans autonomy and to once again ensure we have less rights the second we get pregnant.  Since there is so much fear surrounding birth, and so much misinformation, it seems to be off many people's radar.  I myself considered myself a feminist and well read on the issues, yet walked right into my c-section trap.  I had no idea what had happened until it was all over.  I have since had a succesful VBAC and am working on legislation to prevent VBAC bans.  I am relieved to see this on the feminist blogs and hope there will be more to come.  Unfortunately, I fear we will see the c-section rate continue to climb before it starts to change again.
