Postpartum maternal (1.5%) and neonatal (0.9%) transfers were infrequent. The majority (86%) of newborns were exclusively breastfeeding at 6 weeks of age. Excluding lethal anomalies, the intrapartum, early neonatal, and late neonatal mortality rates were 1.30, 0.41, and 0.35 per 1000, respectively

US as a whole:

(Some of this discrepancy will be because people who have high-risk pregnancies don't usually do home births.)

If you are married the first year and you think because you do not feel the same way you did when you first saw the person who is now your spouse, this entitles you to a divorce at best or a series of flings to defile the marriage bed with another person.. no. 

Justification for breaking a sacred oath lays only at your feet.  No one forced you to lust after another and rather than talk to your Spouse, you let these feelings carry you to the bed of another person.

In recent time, there is a wave of women who are marrying.. then after a few months if not less, leaving the man and then demanding he support her financially through alimony while she panders to her new intimate partner.

Marriage is not something that you just step in to without forethought, careful consideration and the both of you discussing at length your moral, political and social beliefs.  As well as all the little things that make up the person you wish to pledge fidelity to.

No fault divorce has been one of the largest scourges on Marriage matched only with the rise of militant homosexuality.

The ability to Marry, will not grant homosexuals acceptance in society.  No where in history will you find an individual claiming to be an honorable person and the village accepting that alone as fact.  Acting for the moral good of your people is what makes you honorable.  Not a title that you force through governmental legal fiat.

I have supported Civil Unions, which grant such persons similar rights; inheritance and ability to be with their partner in the case of after hours visitation in a hospital.  The ability to purchase rings and have a nice ceremony that shows your love for one another.

Multiple premarital sex partners enhance women’s risk of divorce, regardless of their cohabitation experiences.

Women whose intimate premarital relationships are limited to their husbands—either premarital sex alone or premarital cohabitation—do not experience an increased risk of divorce

Having at least one other intimate relationship prior to marriage is linked to an increased risk of divorce

There is a substantially higher risk of marital dissolution if the woman both had sex with another man and cohabited with him

These are real suits of armor from 16th century Denmark.

This straight-up Dark Souls style of armor was actually used 400 years ago in actual combat with actual people.

A number of human beings died under the stroke of that gargantuan, serrated sword, all so that the present could exist.
