Higher courts have ruled in favor of the hospital's decision. A (very biased) version of the story can be found at http://mountainsageblog.com/2009/07/25/are-women-vessels-with-no-civil-rights/.
Now, I'm not a mom (yet). And like most not-yet-moms, the thought of childbirth is terrifying, but not because of the pain or the hours of nothing happening. Because of all of the unnecessary stuff that doctors do.
Call me a hippy, but unless it's a life or death situation (like broken bones or insane blood pressure, etc.), natural just seems like the way to go.

i know what you mean, but homebirths can actually be really dangerous. We're pro natural births, but just do it in a fucking hospital where doctors are down the hall. If your baby is asphyxiating you can't take a 10 minute drive to the ER. The bottom line is normal deliveries can become abnormal in a matter of SECONDS.
