Thanks for the link, but this article has some wacky statements in it, by this person Pat Brown. Such as:'
"Pregnancy is obviously a big, life-changing event, especially for a man. The emotional and financial responsibilities involved are huge stones around their necks," said Pat Brown...
and
Brown said. "The rate of women being murdered by their husbands and boyfriends because of the pregnancy is a lot higher than the statistics could possibly prove."
I'm not at all convinced that pregnancy is harder for the man than the woman, and one can't just ASSERT that things are worse than statistics indicate. Statistics are what they are, but they are not meaningless.
OOps I pulled up a NOW article..I have seen the Maryland study before...Frankly no one is really keeping statistics...
I did some googling and the Charles Stuart murder of his 8 months pregnant wife and the Scott Peterson murder had some good articles...(I lost them)...There are some studies in Canada I think..
I found several causes for partners murdering their pregnant partner..First..they may be abusers and the abuse just increases, new love interest, greed(divorce and child support expenses,control and jealousy(of the baby becoming the focus of attention).
