Another number then, look at rate of mortality in pregnant women. It's higher in the US as well.

From http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.MMRT?view=map

* 0.014% of dying during a pregnancy in the US

* 0.008% of dying during a pregnancy in France

Those aren't the total chances of dying during a pregnancy, they're the chances of dying from pregnancy-related causes. You can take that 0.006% gap, and then add another 0.004% for 9 months of traffic fatalities.

It'd be interesting to see the numbers after accounting for obesity.
