Description:	Despite the national goal of reducing rates of cesarean delivery to 15% of births established as part of Healthy People 2010, cesarean delivery rates have continued to increase.In 2003, 1.1 million or 27.5% of births in the U.S. were by cesarean delivery. An estimated 2.5% of births that year were cesarean deliveries performed on request, in the absence of medical necessity, and the rate of cesareans on request appears to be growing rapidly over time.
