Last week I wrote about a new study about the incredibly high risk that infants have of being murdered during their first year of life. Richard Bennett was the first to point out that the rate of infant murder turns out to be much higher than the murder rate of women.
In the CDC study of infant murders, the CDC found that from 1989 to 1998, infant murders occurred at a rate of 8.3 per 100,000 person years. By contrast, the incidence of single killer/single victim homicides where the victim was a woman was 1.35 per 100,000 in 1999.
But, of course, infant murder is not anywhere on the feminist agenda except in the 11 percent of cases where men are the perpetrators.
