"Pregnant and recently pregnant women are more likely to be victims of homicide than to die of any other cause except medical complications due to their pregnancy".

You forgot that last part.

I'm just copying and pastin'. This is the final stat I didn't include in my above post:

"Research suggests that injury related deaths, including homicide and suicide, account for approximately one-third of all maternal mortality cases, while medical reasons make up the rest. But, homicide is the leading cause of death overall for pregnant women, followed by cancer, acute and chronic respiratory conditions, motor vehicle collisions and drug overdose, peripartum and postpartum cardiomyopthy, and suicide."
