Indeed--this is a study of deaths of pregnant women, rather than an overall comparison of "which women get murdered more"...though statistics like these are always fraught with potential misinterpretation and demagoguery.

The reason that I'm dubious...how does accidental death figure in the causes of death among pregnant women? Does murder really outstrip car accidents as a cause of death of pregnant women...or have they factored that out?

The Journal of the American Medical Association reported two years ago that homicide is the number one cause of death of pregnant women in America.
