k, I 100% disagree with the choice this woman made.... I would have had the c-section in a minute...

But let's look at it this way:

If this woman if found guilty of murder because of a choice she made to not have a c-section, won't that set a precedent in our legal system for other women who may face the same choice? And do we want the reasons to have/not have a c-section defined legally for us?

This woman was pregnant with twins... not something usually planned.... and she was given a choice by medical professionals and the consequences explained to her... I believe that almost all women would have had the c-section... so I hope they don't create some crazy law based on this woman's stupidity that prevents choice (and effects the civil rights) of other women.

A legal decision like this could be the difference between 'Ma'am, I strongly advise you to have a c-section, what's your decision?' or 'Ma'am, have this c-section or you'll potentially spend life in jail if the outcome of your decision doesn't please us'....
