In reply to the discussion: Leading cause of death for pregnant women is murder by baby's father [View all]chervilant

To all those who continue griping about "gender wars" -- perhaps the male naysayers (and the condescending ones) might stand up for survivors, and take the time to vilify abusers rather than feminists?

Horrible. But more of a factor that deaths directly related to childbirth...
