					<description>Thanks for posting this article...it is really scary and totally crazy. 

What is the need to ask the pregnant woman anything about the care that she would like to have if the court is going to rule whatever they think is right? I can't believe that they would actually strap a woman down against her will to give her a c-section. It is her body after all....

I am totally in favor of the doctors giving their advice and warning the woman about the risks. I think that in the case of a woman being advised a c-section, it is her duty to ask for a second opinion if she really thinks that the surgery is not needed, but how can you ask the court to rule what is best for her and her baby?

I don't know much about the law, but don't the doctors make their patients sign paperwork to protect their butts? 

Thanks again for sharing.</description>
