The bit about c-sections becoming more common for liability reasons is absolutely true. I say this both as a J.D. and as a recent father. When we suggested that we might want to have a c-section to my wife's OB/GYN, her response was "OK, no problem, let's schedule it." Not "Why do you want to do that", or "it's more risky to have a c-section", just a flat-out "let's do it". We're both glad we did it that way (our daughter was 8 pounds 14 oz, facing the wrong way, and my wife's first child, so it would have been a brutal delivery) but my wife kind-of missed having a natural childbirth.
As for Edwards, well, who can say? Some doctors have reportedly stopped practicing in his stomping grounds because of some of the outrageous verdicts he brought in for his clients based upon faulty testimony, but who can say for sure?
Is ANYBODY here SERIOUSLY thinking of changing their votes because of Edwards and Cheney?
