There is very clear data that inducing labor at this point reduces the number of cesarean sections because of fetal distress.

There were horrific cases occurring among women going through a trial of labor. There's a lot of hard, irrefutable data on the increased risk. It would have been immoral to not have come out with the new recommendation.

It reduces the impact of some of the softer data, but won't be a major factor for the Fed.

There has been an increase in the number of malformed frogs. What's causing these malformed frogs is not really clear, though there are a number of theories.

The best way to avoid a cesarean is to stay out of the hospital.

The total number of hours worked in the private sector by production labor declined even though there were more of those jobs. That tells me that we're seeing a shift not just away from manufacturing jobs but toward jobs with shorter hours.
