Why after delivery is a mother given injections of RhoGAM and pitocin?

If a mother is RH negative (her blood type is negative) then she will be given a shot of Rhogam.

Pitocin is administered after birth to help expel the placenta. You can decline it. I plan to decline it and avoid Pitocin by any means necessary. ;-)
