Here's another interesting bit of trivia. Homicide is a leading cause of death for pregnant women, new study findshttps://news.yahoo.com/homicide-leading-cause-death-pregnant-women-224016183....The U.S. has the highest rates of maternal mortality in the industrialized world, but new research shows there's a leading cause of death for women during pregnancy or soon after childbirth that many are unaware of: murder.
Women in this country are more likely to die of homicide during pregnancy or not long after giving birth than they are to die of the main obstetric causes of maternal death: blood pressure disorders, hemorrhage (that is, bleeding) or sepsis, a life-threatening infection, according to data published in the BMJ. That's even as new research has found pregnancy-related deaths have increased nearly 80% since 2018, largely due to COVID-19.
The study found that the homicides are usually linked to intimate partner violence and firearms.
