As a woman who has given birth, I can speak from experience that there are many things that can happen that are unplanned. I had my birth plan and my doctor followed is as closely as medically possible. Some things had to be rethought out. I feel like everything that was done, was done for the safety of myself and my baby. Although, I do think that pitocin is overused. If I could have gone with out it, I would have.
Birthing in a hospital is a business, and I believe women can be taken advantage of. But likening it to rape is.. well, asinine. It's not rape. As a pregnant woman, it is your duty to do your research and find a doctor who you are comfortable with. I can see their side of the argument, that doctor's are taking advantage of women. But if you're concerned about rape, you have security walk you to your car. If you're concerned about birth rape, you do your research and you have someone you trust with you in the delivery room to help look after your best interests. People want to blame everyone else instead of taking the time to educate and protect themselves.
