Danger zone

So my mom's freaking out about my upcoming trip to Tunisia, even though the last al-Qaida attack there was in 2002 and the government is providing extra security to our press party.

But let's face it -- the danger of North Africa pales in comparison to the danger of being pregnant! If it isn't some crazy person who wants to steal the newborn baby, it's a father-to-be who doesn't want the kid or some relationship strife or whatnot. After seeing all these cases, and noting that homicide is the leading cause of death for a mother-to-be after pregnancy complications, what can a woman say but "WHEW ... At least I'm not pregnant!"
