Reply #69: The data comes from the WHO.

I saw it linked here yesterday, but you could search on it.

It's pretty funny to say "well those are COMPLICATIONS for pregnancy, and therefore not normal." It's NORMAL for a large percentage of pregnancies to have complications - and for a significant percentage of those to result in death. I'm not following the logic of excluding all the ones with dangerous complications from the statistics, and then after excluding them claim that pregnancy isn't dangerous.

Heck, nothing is a safety risk, including being in combat, if you decide to throw out all the statistics where things go wrong.
