During the time when Laci Peterson was missing, I read that the number one cause of death of pregnant women is murder by her husband or significant other. I think that these cases put attractive faces on this tragic statistic.

This does not even hold a candle to the sick crap that goes on every day in the rest of the world -- or even the rest of the nation.
That's my point. People are more aware about Laci Peterson than the slaughters going on in someplace like Sierra Leone.
