Ok, I was viewing that as a different issue. I thought we were talking about the numbers themselves, but you're right if we shift to looking at the motives of the writer and paper. I just misunderstood what you were reacting to--I thought you were calling the numbers themselves liberal concoctions (although I didn't realize that the study ignored other causes of death for pregnant women, which does call the numbers themselves into question. Car accidents are probably a higher cause of death among pregnant women than murder.)
Good response. You may just survive!! LOL
