Who decides on medical care? I don't think it's best to let patients have too much power. I'd rather leave things to medical professionals....doctors, researchers, and the like. After all, we don't let passengers dictate how air travel should work. We leave that to pilots, researchers, etc.
While the medical field is likely still dominated by men, a good number of women are working in it. I don't think it's a case where men are solely deciding how childbirth occurs in hospitals.
