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.

As if they even keep this sort of stat for traffic fatalities.

A local anchor-babe said that "Despite increases in automobile safety, car accidents are still the #1 cause of death for children aged 5 and under."

Moron. Something has to be the #1 cause of death. What percentage of kids today die in car accidents as opposed to the % of kids who used to die by cholera or giant hyena?

"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.)'

And this is an excellent example of reporters turning off their brains when they get a chance to parrot liberal propaganda.

1300 deaths since 1990 is about 100 deaths a year. There are about 4 million live births in the US every year.

How ignorant about basic mortality tables would you have be to believe that 100 deaths in a population of more than 4 million could possibly be the "leading cause of death"?
