Midwifery and C-sections - a connection?

One of the things I've noticed in the last few years is how much both the narratives and the movement around women's reproductive rights have shifted very much away from what they used to once be.

Case in point - years ago, the context behind legalizing abortions rested on the concept of (essentially) her body - her choice. That last word being key.

But in the years since the COVID-19-related pandemic, there's been a subtle but clear shift away from the concept of 'choice' and just focus on abortion 'access'. Which lines up coincidentally with one side of the crapitalist non-choices - the Blue-No-Matter-Whoers. The elimination of 'choice' lined up quite nicely with the need for one of that entity's chief donors (Pfizer) pushing an untested and unsafe COVID vaccine and making billions off it. It also illustrated that to most of that entity's largely white/suburban female voting bloc - abortion was in essence the only real definition of reproductive rights.

Let me point out the obvious - it isn't. There are many aspects around reproductive rights that aren't covered at all. For example, the levels of pre-natal care, choice of birthing, post-birth treatment, and ... 

... the option of midwifery. That seems to no longer exist here in the United States, why?

All of this leads to this point ... why the sudden and accelerated increase in c-sections in the United States over the last couple of decades ... (Here's a hint - there's a profit motive) ...

Midwifery was a standard global practice until the 20th century.Midwives would travel to the homes of women and babies to offer holistic care surrounding their pregnancies and births (A Brief History of Midwifery). Anti-midwife advocates, including many doctors who looked down upon the practice, campaigned for laws and educational restrictions that effectively dismantled the profession in America within the past century.

This was a massive blow to women’s ability to receive a form of personalized maternity care that many understaffed hospitals cannot provide due to the sheer volume of patients coming in for other ailments. Still, doctors have opposed the practice of midwifery on the grounds that a more Western, “scientific” approach is preferable. In practice this means relying on hospitals for birth and prioritizing quick pain relief over holistic care. It is also a profit-driven practice that is intended to save money for hospitals by shortening mothers’ stays and relying on medication instead of care staff.
