True. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole but doesn’t really indicate why a woman would be more likely to be killed in a domestic violence situation of when she is pregnant or not pregnant. It does mention that not having access to proper reproductive healthcare can lead to more risk.

I’m confused. Stats cited here are about causes of death for pregnant women. Did I miss where it compared likelihood of a pregnant women getting murdered to that of a women who is not pregnant?

And lack of reproductive healthcare leads to more risk of what, getting murdered?
