I don't view reports of domestic violence or reports of the murder of pregnant women as propaganda - but I view these two papers as being slipshod.

I do however agree that revulsion at the murder of a pregnant women and her foetus *does* do quite a lot to raise the view in peoples' minds of unborn children as human beings and thus makes things difficult for those who would gladly view any infant as not a human being until he exits the womb.

And it makes as much sense that sex is the main cause of pregnancy, therefore it was sex that caused the murder. Or, not really....

Stats are for fools needing encouragement and for the government to spend more money.

"But, examined closely, St. George's reporting seems to support the idea that pregnant women are murdered less often than non-pregnant women."
