Default Re: C/ sections, should women be given the choice??

I don't think they should be an option that is offered to women when there are no contraindications for a normal birth, we are meant to be promoting normal birth after all, and offering a c section to women without a good reason to me is completely wrong. The too posh to push scenario comes to mind when it is offered without good reason.

I don't understand why a c section is done so routinely for a breech baby, I know there are increased risks with a breech presentation, but is it always necessary to do a section? I don't know to be honest, I would be interested to hear what others with more experince than me think about this
