My point was that she was in a mental institution, is suffering from bipolar disorder and was evaluated by professional medical people to determine her mental state and emotional health and whether or not she was a threat to the child... it is being made to sound like a dude with a bachelors degree in Art Appreciation, showed up at her door at home with a briefcase, diagnosed her, made a determination and then demanded she get a c-section, which clearly isn't the case at all.
Additionally, removing a child from an unsafe environment is not the same as ordering a surgery after the psychological evaluation by qualified doctors of a patient suffering from bipolar and who is at a mental institution.
The article was clearly written with a slant that makes it appear to be something it isn't. The fact that she's mentally ill and pregnant should be more than enough to give people pause for thought.
