The idea that a woman is being charged with murder for not taking a doctors ADVICE (and yes, it is just that, advice) is insane. Yes, a doctor probably knows what is best for the "to be" child in a case like this, but it is still just advice that he is giving. There is no way of knowing FOR SURE that the child still would have survived.
If this woman didn't want to have a c-section that's her choice. Until that child is born it is a part of her body. As much as I may disagree with her choice, she still has the right to make it.
