I've witnessed a hemorrhage, and it's a scary thing (and the one I was at wasn't the firehose kind, which you seem to have experienced). I'm so sorry to hear it happened to you, and I'm very glad you're still with us!
It is no better for a woman not to know what the risks of homebirth or VBAC are than it is for her not to know she might be able to do those things successfully.
Maybe I'm just tired, but I'm having a hard time parsing this sentence... I think I might see what you're saying, but I'm not entirely certain I can agree with it. Would it be a PITA to ask you to rephrase it?
Your final sentence, though, I understand and appreciate (check out the stories of moms being snubbed over at cheesepuppet's page).
