Did any of you actually read the article? The lady is obviously nuts - she wouldn't have a c-section purely for cosmetic reasons. She even said that she would rather have one of the babies die than have a c-section. She also said that she would rather have both babies die than to have gone to one of two other hospitals. This lady obviously didn't care about her children and shouldn't of even gotten pregnant in the first place - she's not fit to be a mother, period. C-section scars, if done properly, are barely noticeable. Anyways, if this person cared that much about what she looked like, she could have had plastic surgery a few months after having the c-section to fix whatever problems "might" have occured to her physically. Also, with c-section, there is much less to worry about physically then when you perform natural childbirth - no pubic area stretching occurs. If a person really cares for their unborn children, they will do anything to save them. And it should be considered murder because we have the technology now to save an unborn child - she willingly let that child die against the advice of others. I feel no shame for her, I feel only shame for the child that has to know her as "mother." And the child she let die.
Maybe the woman was scared of getting cut open. Maybe the woman was too afraid to admit to the doctors that she was scared of getting cut. Maybe the reporter was a pro-life nut who carefully made sure that we knew half the story, and made the woman look like an inhumane b*tch. The bottom line is that it was the woman's choice, and no one elses.
if the babies wanted to pop out, they would have popped out naturally. She wouldn't have to have had a c-section.

Even if she was scared of getting cut, Im pretty sure they gas you to perform this procedure. You think she would do anything to save her childs life.

I dont think infants can control how they are born.

You'd think that, but you weren't in her position so how do you know the circumstances? There could be thousand different reasons for this such as her being afraid of being gassed as well, believing in natural birth e.t.c. Yet before we've heard from the woman herself, from the tone of your post, you've already judged her.
You preach once you've been in the same position yourself.
