I didn't like my first baby's birth experience

it wasnt so bad thank God, but I felt violated and raped. Thankfully I was educated about birth, so I went to the hospital when it was advanced, as I had many hours no progress and no dilation, which I spend them at home.
with my second baby after reading hospital birth stories and asking friends about their birth experiences,... I had problems too with the pregnancy and I saw how this was treated, i decided to take the birth to myself, not to let anyone to violate or hurt me. I did it at home. many people view me as a rebel and a selfish who edangered herself and her baby. I don't care. I rather to do what is good for me than suffer in a hospital and having everyone's support and understandings. defining me as a selfish is very double standard thing to say. many women want to abort babies, even healthy babies just because they don''t want to have baby or can't support the baby financially. instead of giving the baby for adoption they rather to kill the babies. nobody says they are selfish. but if women choose to take the birth to themselves, all sudden they are selfish and careless about their babies.
I belive the reason of that double standard is because when a baby is aborted, doctors make money, and when a baby is born alone at home, nobody makes money, so we are throughfully brainwashed in the western culture to be shocked of the horrible selfish women who dare to keep themselves outside of the hospital setting and keeping away all professional birth attendants from their birth and baby
anyway after all that babbling my point is, when women will wake up to demand their rights and such hospitals will lose customers, the hospitals will have to consider the women and treat us as respectable humans. same as any other service like hair salon or any malls, must be nice to the customers or business will get lost. now we are still in dark ages about health and births
