Response to ACOG statement

This article
is a response from several women's health care groups to the position paper that justified elective Cesareans. I think that there are definitely times when Cesareans save either the life or health of mother and/or baby. But it also carries risks to the life and health of both. I think that doing major surgery without a good reason is ethically questionable, and I am glad that these groups (which often disagree on other issues) have issued a joint statement.
