Eh, she's got her mind made up and her blinders on. Even though she tries to be oh-so-liberal and openminded, she really isn't.
The main reason there are so many C-sections is because if a doctor doesn't do one, and there's a chance that the baby may not be OMG exactly perfect, he's liable to be sued for everything he's got, and also likely to lose in a jury trial. So rather than take the risk, they go the C-section route (which has plenty of its own risks as well).
