V.M. has been separated from her baby for three years in the name of "child welfare." All because she didn't want to pre-authorize a cesarean section that neither she nor the hospital had any reason to believe would be medically necessary, and wasn't.
"raydan" said Strange thing is that you don't need to go to a hospital to give birth. You could do this at home and not even consult a doctor during your pregnancy.
