Well, this is one in a series of lies - "Domestic violence is the leading case of birth defects", "The biggest single reason women are admitted to emergency rooms is domestic violence", and the most recent whopper, "pregnant women are more at risk to die from domestic violence than anything else".

These lie continue to look to gain support for domestic violence programs, a multi-billion dollar a year business, a business that employs probably about 20,000.

While we can condemn domestic violence, you have to wonder about why the folks that promote these programs come up with such whoppers to enlist support. When you consider that after 20 years and throwing billions of dollars at this issue the true recorded incidences of domestic violence have dropped about the same as the crime rate over all.

But, the folks drawing salaries running these programs would rather you look at their lies than the truth.

During the Texas kidnapping of the pregnant woman, it kept being reported that murder was the Number One Cause of death of pregnant women (about 1300 since 1990.) One reporter did point out that this is because pre-natal care is so good that women don't die from pre-natal complications.
