Interesting legal move by Venezuela

Who would have thought it would become necessary to create this term and then legislate for it.

Your thoughts please?

One of my midwives told me that a friend of hers who is Brazilian and is planning a natural birth is being completely bullied by her family back home into a CS because they had never known anyone not to have a CS and were convinced that a natural birth is impossible... this is because the CS rate amongst private patients there (which is a huge number not like here) is around 90%. Amongst women in the public health system it is around 40/50% too... so there is hardly any culture of midwifery etc. Perhaps Venezuela is similar or heading in that direction.
