Murders Of New/Expectant Mothers
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6732499/
__________________"A year-long examination by The Washington Post of death-record data in states across the country documents the killings of 1,367 pregnant women and new mothers since 1990. This is only part of the national toll, because no reliable system is in place to track such cases. Largely unseen by the public, it is a phenomenon that is as consequential as it is poorly understood. Even in the past two years — as the Laci Peterson homicide case has become a public fascination, with a jury last week recommending that her husband, Scott, be sentenced to death in her killing — little has been said about the larger convergence of pregnancy and homicide: how often it happens, why, and whether it is a fluke or a social syndrome. The Post's analysis shows that the killings span racial and ethnic groups. In cases whose details were known, 67 percent of women were killed with firearms. Many women were slain at home — in bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens — usually by men they knew. Husbands. Boyfriends. Lovers. The cases are not commonplace compared with other homicides but are more frequent than most people know — and have changed the way some experts think about pregnancy." |

Thisis upsetting. From husbands trying to avoid responsibility to desperate to the point of insane women looking for a baby with a shortage of healthy newborns to adopt, it's all very tragic.

its sad
when i was pregnant with my first i was very young and my boyfriend...was such an asshole. we were swimming and i swear he wanted to drown me. he was like pulling me down into the water it was like he was testing the procedure he may use ..and then he would say shitty things like i want to punch you in the stomach and shit. he wanted the baby to go away ,his future hung in the balance instinctively I kept my distance from him and let him go his own way it was for the best luckily my parents loved me unconditionally through the whole ordeal. so we parted...and i never saw him again...... the child is now almost 17 ..talented ,smart and very handsome young man. that crap just is so heinous (<-sp?) those poor women and children..... those guys are absolute cowards |

![]() You letting him go was for the better. Your son is very lucky and will be a much better man than his father will ever be and it was all because of *you*. These stories appall me. Women, especially pregnant ones should not be hurt by people they know and love. In fact, no one should be hurt at all. ![]() ![]() |

This makes me so angry.
![]() I actually read about this in Details - a men's magazine of all places - and the article said that most of the men who do this are mama's boys who are spoiled and are used to have everything done for them. Since having a baby means taking responsibility and the man will have to compete with the baby for attention, these men look for a way out because they are cowards and aren't man enough to grow up and stop being so selfish. Really, sometimes I think the future of male-female relations would only get worse. |

![]() Okay, if that is indeed the case, and that's a big reason why these guys do this, all I have to say is grow the fuck up, you idiots. The ironic part is that they DO get attention after they kill someone...just not the good kind. Angela |

Seems like way too many people have a problem with taking responsibility. It makes me sick.
