   Comments: Until women band together to stand up to this misogyny, care providers will continue to make decisions FOR women and their babies rather than WITH the women whom they serve. It is a human rights violation to force someone to undergo unnecessary medical procedures. The evidence is clear - most women (around 90%) will birth vaginally when supported by family and their care providers; most women who wish to VBAC (60-80% will birth vaginally when supported by family and their care providers. Women, this battle is over OUR BODIES and over the livelihood of our families, our sisters, our girlfriends, and our daughters. It is up to us to change the birth culture in Montana and to take back our rights.

   Comments: Women should be able to make their own decision regarding the birth of their child. VBAC has been shown to carry a minimal risk of uterine rupture, about 0.4% when women are left to go into labor spontaneously. It is unconscionable for doctors and hospitals to put their concerns for liability and scheduling before the best interests of mothers and babies. Cesarean sections are major abdominal surgery and to make that the only alternative for women, forcing them to assume the risk of infection, damage to the bladder, laceration to the baby, excessive blood loss, complications from anesthesia; not to mention possibility of extended NICU stay, problems with breastfeeding and bonding is criminal.

   Comments: Based on the most recent evidence, in March 2005 the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) revised its VBAC guidelines and now encourages women to consider labor after a prior cesarean and maternity care providers to support women

    Comments: VBAC offers better outcomes and lower risks for both mama and baby than having another cesarean.

    Comments: If you won't allow VBACs...you should close lhe labor and delivery unit. If you can't manage emergencies, then pregnant women who carry increased risks for cord prolapse, and abruptias shouldn't feel safe coming to your hospital either. Let's get honest with your consumers.

    Comments: Having just successfully VBACed in a hospital with a ban, I want to urge you to allow a woman the choice of birth that is best for her and her baby. Forcing major abdominal surgery on a woman is morally and ethically wrong.

    Comments: Study after study has shown that VBAC is better for mothers and for babies than elective repeat section. It is unconscionable for any care provider-- hospital or physician-- to deny women their basic rights to birth.

    Comments: According to the OB anestheiologists at the most recent Apgar Seminar, any hospital not able to handle a uterine rupture (catastrophic is VERY rare) is NOT equipped to do maternity services. Other emergencies such as cord prolapse and placental abruption are far more common than a uterine rupture and require immediate surgery.

    Comments: We should not choose a policy just because it makes it easier for the physician. God made our bodies to give vaginal birth and they heal much better when the created birth process is used. Please give your mothers their God given right.
