Another needless rise in C-sections

*sigh*
Another rise in the national C-section rate. Sadly enough, the rate for premature and low birth weight babies has risen as well.
Where are all these babies we are "saving" by performing a cesarean section?!?!?!
Below is a copy from this link:

"The preliminary rate of cesarean delivery rose 4 percent in 2005 to 30.2 percent of all births, another record high for the Nation (Table 4). The cesarean rate declined somewhat during the early and mid-1990s, but has risen 46 percent since 1996 (from 20.7 percent)."

When will the insanity stop?!
