Pregnancy linked to higher risk of death from traumatic injury
Studies have found that one in six pregnant women have been abused by a partner -- beaten, stabbed, shot, or even murdered. New research shows the risks to these women may be especially profound. Ref. Source 1t.
To me it does not matter if you are pregnant or not. To beat a woman with the intent to harm, or kill is wrong. Women are meant to be protected not abused or killed. I think some men out there that feel like the can be abusive to women are messed up. Anyone who can cause the death or traumatic injury to a pregnant woman needs some serious wall to wall counseling.
