Yep, you can't make this shit up.
Italian woman had a break down, and social services obtained a court order, which allowed them to forcibly sedate the woman - without telling her what would happen to her - and when she woke, she was told that her baby had been delivered by caesarean (which she didn't consent to) and the child in care. The baby is now 15 months old and the woman, who is recovering well, is not allowed to have her baby back:
A pregnant woman has had her baby forcibly removed by caesarean section by social workers.
Essex social services obtained a High Court order against the woman that allowed her to be forcibly sedated and her child to be taken from her womb.
The council said it was acting in the best interests of the woman, an Italian who was in Britain on a work trip, because she had suffered a mental breakdown.
The baby girl, now 15 months old, is still in the care of social services, who are refusing to give her back to the mother, even though she claims to have made a full recovery.

What kind of shit is this, Britain? You cannot go around forcing women to give birth, having unnecessary surgeries, just because you think they are not fit to be parents!!!!
Clearly British officials are just as concerned about the incident.
From the cited article:
The case, reported by Christopher Booker in his column in The Sunday Telegraph today, raises fresh questions about the extent of social workers powers.
It will be raised in Parliament this week by John Hemming, a Liberal Democrat MP. He chairs the Public Family Law Reform Coordinating Campaign, which wants reform and greater openness in court proceedings involving family matters.
He said: I have seen a number of cases of abuses of peoples rights in the family courts, but this has to be one of the more extreme.
It involves the Court of Protection authorising a caesarean section without the person concerned being made aware of what was proposed. I worry about the way these decisions about a persons mental capacity are being taken without any apparent concern as to the effect on the individual being affected.
So what happened to your bashing "rightists"? Back peddling a bit are we?
