IN THE LITERATURE:Combating Coercion: Breech Birth, Parturient Choice, and the Evolution of Evidence‐Based Maternity Care
Bibliographic record
Abstract
ABSTRACT: In 2001 the term breech trial led the American and Royal Colleges of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG and RCOG) to issue black‐and‐white “cookbook” guidelines condemning vaginal breech birth. Since then, women have been coerced, both overtly and covertly, into having cesarean sections. New evidence and a better understanding of the limitations of the term breech trial have led both the ACOG and RCOG to replace their 2001 guidelines with new ones that re‐open the door for planned vaginal breech birth, acknowledge the evolving understanding of the nature of evidence, and emphasize the importance of external validity in the evaluation of complex phenomena. Parturient choice and clinical judgment are re‐introduced. (BIRTH 34:2 June 2007)

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
