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."
