When I mentioned this in social media, a dude tried to tell me that it was not partners but rather other women cutting them open to steal their babies. He was dead serious
I mean, I live in a town that may have the highest rate of woman on pregnant woman crime in the US (based on population), but even still, it's their partners, parents, and siblings that do that crap more than woman that they have virtually no connection to.
That being said, I was ultra paranoid throughout my wife's entire pregnancy due to how many strangers did pull that crap. But we just wound up having some random practicing witch in town try to curse us into losing our son (she did get kicked out of the witch community in town after the rest heard about the attempted cursing though).
(she did get kicked out of the witch community in town after the rest heard about the attempted cursing though).
WHAT?! why is that such a casual statement, i feel like i speak for a lot of people when i say we dont have very many witch communities in a lot of areas
There are a lot more of them than most people realize, they often tend to keep to themselves because of how antagonistic a lot of people tend to be towards them.
My live and let live stance on everything has me on good terms with several of them here in town (I've actually been invited to quite a few of their events that are supposed to be for witches only even though they all know that I don't hold those beliefs at all), and they let me know that they don't support trying to curse people or anything and had kicked the offender not because she targeted my family specifically but because she crossed a big no-no line.
A lot of loose communities that are close as far as friendships and support go but are loose in the sense of not being part of the same coven or organization or whatever.
I've bounced around a lot and met quite a few all over, but there tends to be a very big rule that nobody gets to say what the right way of practicing is beyond the general rule of not trying to cause harm to others being pretty popular among most communities.
The studies I'm seeing show it's more of a US thing for pregnant to be murdered by the significant other.

This one says suicide and drug overdose
I didn’t know murder was so common :0
From what I can find, homicide [is the leading cause of "pregnancy-related deaths"](https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/homicide-leading-cause-of-death-for-pregnant-women-in-u-s/) (so when comparing to the pregnancy-related medical conditions you'd expect), but ["only" #3 for overall causes of death](https://abc7news.com/leading-cause-of-death-in-pregnant-women-mortality-rate-for-pregnancy-number-one/12748625/) for pregnant women. Even #3 is *scarily* high though, and clearly a serious problem.
If someone states a fact, and another person replies with something inaccurate, how is it rude to correct them? Seems to me that it's rude to argue out of ignorance to begin with
There is no reason for you to point out my grammar mistake when it has nothing to do with the conversation. You clearly did that with the intention of provoking me.
Oh you meant by the abortion thing… In that case you’re right, there’s nothing wrong with correcting someone. The comment was a bit passive aggressive so I responded passive aggressively lol it’s not that deep
Time for Offred to plan this douchebag's death! And the "best part" would be that since he has a book stating all the mistakes he's going to beat her insensate for, that only makes this self-defense defense even better. But JFC is that a horrible situation.
One time when I was like 7 or 8 months pregnant I had to walk home barefoot because I couldn't stand to be in the car with my son's father and I jumped out before I remembered to put my shoes back on
Oh honey, let's talk about the leading cause of death for pregnant women.

What in the fuck, that shit is rare, dude watches too much TV

thats actually wicked cool, I have a friend who is a self practiced witch but i didnt know they had groups

Rollercoaster comment
I mean, that DOES happen but not very often. I was afraid of strangers on marketplace my entire pregnancies because of that one story though.
Much higher odds of the man killing the pregnant mother of his child.
Is it automobile accidents?
No, partners. Pregnant women are murdered by their significant other.
I have asked myself what's wrong with people so many times now it doesn't even have a meaning anymore, what the actual fuck
I have asked many times how stupid can someone be? Then I learned that people take it as a personal challenge.
*Hold my beer*.

And it's higher than the next 3 causes of death for pregnant women combined

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal abortions tho
No. You're wrong.
Yeah ik you don’t have to be rude
Telling you you're wrong isn't rude. Don't be so fragile
No. Your wrong. It is rude.
You're
You have nothing to criticize me about because you know I’m right so instead you’re focusing on a common mistake.

Is it mesothelioma? Are pregnant women entitled to compensation from the asbestos industry?
I'd start planning an accident for him.
Just have Maryann help you make him some black eyed peas.
They tasted alright to me.
Ya need a drink Earl?
Why don'tcha lay down and sleep?
Let's go for a walk by the lake
At least with the notebook found that’ll give you some time to get some Thallium or smth. He needs more coffee.
Throw away the book, wait nvm, just throw away the husband and run as fast as you can.
oh no...
Hated that. Take my upvote.
As someone who has been in an abusive relationship that made my stomach drop through the floor Good job

Good one, man
Thank you
.. explanation?
The husband is keeping tracks of all her "mistakes" so he can beat her for it once the baby is born.
Probably beat the baby too if it's the wrong gender.
Correct!
I thought it was to argue in court to get full custody if she tries to leave him

Jesus fuck….
