Ah Denise, I must have  the cynical little voice's American twin sitting on
MY shoulder.  I wonder  if OBs were paid LESS for a C/Section than they are for
a vaginal delivery, what  we would see.

I wonder what the  uterine rupture rate for VBACs would be if there was no
induction or  augmentation with Pitocin?

I wonder how much  infant formula would be sold if it all came in glass
bottles with black and  white labels that said simply "Plant or Animal Milk for
Babies."

And now, since I'm off  topic, I will will my fingers to be silent.
