This text is panik driving "journalism". It ignores that women in Europe are now on average older than 20 years ago during a pregnancy. Thus the risk of anything bad happening is higher. Without age-adjusting, it does not really help much.

Also risks without comparisons are often meant to focus on one issue, and ignoring lots of others:
