Malpractice
...affecting practice.
It's a shame that C-sections are preformed more often than needed due to malpractice concerns. But then again, if it's safer, maybe we're better off in the long run as a society (although, individually, more women would be put at risk).

Safer in what sense? For the woman? I don't see how except for in the VBAC cases. I suppose it's more predictible for the infant, however, it also messes with the chain of events afterwards...e.g. can't breastfeed immediately after delivery and requires a longer recovery. IMO, this is just another example of how the pregnancy and birthing process has been mechanically operated based on statistical averages.
