Murder of pregnant women Murder of pregnant women is a type of homicide often resulting from domestic violence. Domestic violence - or intimate partner violence (IPV) - is suffered by many, and when analyzing cases in which victims came forward, majority of them are women. Many of these women fear harm not just to themselves but also to their unborn children. Pregnancy-associated death has become more commonly termed pregnancy-associated homicide. Recently, more focus has been placed on pregnancy-associated deaths due to violence. IPV may begin when the victim becomes pregnant. Research has shown that abuse while pregnant is a red flag for pregnancy-associated homicide.
