Title hook
They didn't want to have C-sections. A judge would decide how they gave birth.
Verbal hook
Mentally competent patients typically have the right to choose their medical care — or refuse it. But there is one notable exception: pregnant patients.
Visual hook
The stark split-screen showing two women with serious, contemplative expressions immediately humanizes the issue, while the bold pink and white text on a black background creates dramatic, unmissable contrast.
