Sorry, I don't have the documentation for it, but women have refused C-Sections before and their children have lived to tell about it!
There have been some cases of court-ordered C-Sections where women left the hospital and gave birth vaginally to healthy babies. You cannot assume the the doctors always have the ultimate authority in every single one of these cases. Doctor's advice is only advice; they are not infallible. Even the head of the American College of OB/GYN's said this on NPR the other night. He said this is a decision that must remain the mother's.
IMO, they cannot justify charging this mentally ill woman with murder without also charging the hospital and her doctors.
