翻译后摘要：在高收入经济体进行剖宫产的数量已经上升了几十年。女权主义学者认为，对这一趋势的可能解释是产科的防御性做法。在本文中，我认为，防御性做法剥夺了妇女选择分娩方式的权力，从而损害了妇女。当妇女被剥夺选择产妇要求剖宫产（MRCS）的机会时，同样的伤害也很明显。因此，我试图证明如何定期提供妇女MRCS是最好的解决方案，在高收入经济体剖宫产率上升。
Abstract:The number of cesarean sections performed in high-income economies has been rising for decades. Feminist scholarship suggests that the likely explanation for this trend is defensive practice in obstetrics. In this paper, I argue that defensive practice harms women by depriving them of the power to choose their means of childbirth. This same harm is also evident when women are denied the opportunity to opt for maternal request cesarean (MRCS). Thus, I seek to demonstrate how routinely offering women MRCS is the best solution to rising cesarean rates in high-income economies.
