The number of women who die in childbirth in the US is 13 per 100,000 live birth.

That means the percentage of pregnancies that are actually life threatening is 0.013%.

That is the real actual danger of pregnancy, 13 death for every 100,000 births. Any other number you see is a false made up inflated number to justify abortion.

No, it doesn't. While that may possibly be the percentage of pregnancies that are lift threatening, there are four classes of pregnancies to consider:

  1. non-life-threatening; aborted
  2. non-life-threatening; carried to term
  3. life-threatening; aborted
  4. life-threatening; carried to term, fatally
The 13/100K statistic implies that the ratio of #4 to #2 is about 13:100K. That does not imply that the ratios of #3 to #1, nor (#3+#4) to (#1+#2) are are similar.
