FACT:
"Many people would think that pregnancy's hidden dangers lie in childbirth, hemorrhage, or stroke. In fact, the leading cause of death of pregnant women is homicide, usually domestic violence. Compared to women of the same age, women who are pregnant or have recently given birth are twice as likely to be murdered."
