This thread kinda reminded me of this thread in the Ladies Lounge:

Personally, I feel that if women want more control over what happens to them during birth, they should consider doing it at home with a nurse-midwife if it's not a high-risk pregnancy, or using a birthing center associated with a hospital. I think mostly what these women are protesting against is the medicalization of birth, which I think is a legitimate protest, but to equate a medicalized birth to rape is ridiculous and makes the movement look bad.
