I've heard this story many times and I've checked it out many times. The number one cause of death of pregnant women is automobile accidents. "Partners" which includes lesbian lovers, are way down on the list of causes of death for pregnant women and women in general. But the show is arguing that there is an epidemic of murder of pregnant women by the father of the child they carry. So since it isn't true, what's the real story here?
In the early 1970s Marxist lesbian feminists in London began a campaign based on the belief that the heterosexual two parent family was a form of slavery for women and that in order to "liberate" women they must first destroy the heterosexual family. This has been written about in several women's studies books as well as books on Marxism which you can read for yourself, if you have the urge.
Anyway, as a part of this mission they created the lie that fathers are the number one cause of death of pregnant women. They pulled it out of thin air. Every time their anti-family claim was researched by non-feminists it was found to be completely false. But religion and politics has a special life of its' own. Truth and facts don't stand a chance when confronted with emotional lies and self-deception. So this and many other anti-male, anti-family lies live on in magazines, newspapers, television programs, and Julia Roberts movies. Researchers who point out that it is a lie are attacked for blasphemy, like the first men who declared that the world is not flat, and are subsequently punished for their heresy.
Plus, the marketing folks have found that woman-as-martyr/man as Satan sells really, really well.
So to hell with the truth. Let's spread some extremely destructive lies and sell a lot of shampoo! We'll get rich and anyone dumb enough to listen will get an ugly divorce and spend the rest of their lives in bitter isolation.
See? It's win-win.
