More birth fuckery, this time from Oz:

Overdue NSW woman gets police check-up.

The article starts, "Rochelle Allan, who is reluctant to be induced even though her baby is 12 days overdue, was told by the hospital they intended to go ahead with the procedure when she came in."(italics are mine).

Um, yeah. Like 12 days overdue is a horrendous amount. And like anyone has the right to violate someone else's. a;dfhasd;fhasd.

ETA: More info on the Australian Medical Association's study:

Apparently the Australian Medical Asociation is doing a real smackdown on home birth, something that looks like it might end up being even WORSE than US home birth laws. The mind boggles.
