You’d be amazed at the cognitive dissonance that occurs against mothers that choose to free birth. I personally don’t agree with it, and I find it to be the most extreme form of ‘my body, my choice’ with substantial risk for both mother and child; but it’s wild to see how many people want to insert themselves and the medical complex into life-giving because of the safety profile. I don’t have the right answer, but it’s an interesting debate around this topic to watch unfold.

I would absolutely advise people to use modern medicine. The risks are abundantly clear. It's a tough one for sure since modern medicine is full of its own problems. I'm against abortion since it's not just her body. There's another human involved here. But the method of delivery is a grey area. I would probably err on the side to let the mother decide ultimately. Mostly for the same reasons I believe people should be able to decide what vaccines their children receive.
