Pregnancy often Fatal by Violence

The killing of the pregnant woman in the U.S. surprised me very much. What I find even more surprising is the fact that this happens so often. Most often it is not committed by a woman however. Usually it is the father of the child or another male who feels insulted by her pregnancy by another man. While recognizing that this is a problem, I had no idea how common it is in North America. So high in fact that it is the leading cause of death for pregnant women in at least one state. For much more in depth information on the subject, check out the article.
