When I saw the title to this article "Choosy Mothers Choose Caesareans" I was intrigued. It didn't take long for my intrigue to turn into rage. In my opinion, the article makes it sound like the choice between a vaginal birth and a caesarean is equal to "paper or plastic?" This line really got me: "Pretty tidy way to conduct the often messy business of childbirth." Really? Having your abdomen sliced open is tidy? Hmm... What do you think?
