Yep, what he said. This is not a case where a woman said quite plainly, I don't believe in surgery, so please let me have the baby naturally, and was then convicted with murder charges. This was a woman, who only weeks before delivery was taking serious drugs, and showed little concern for the well being of her child. Her own vanity was more important to her than her child's life.

And like Secret said, I think 'forcing women' to have C sections is very rare, and only happens in cases where it is absoluetly vital to the child's life. I personally strongly believe that a baby about to be born is every bit as human as I am now, and I would do anything, even give up my life if it came to that so that the child could live.
