Thanks, I felt exactly the same. I would not trust them, to even understand the model they are using, nor at the correct interpretation of the border cases it produces.

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:

All races and origins, female, 20-24 years (CDC)

  ... All causes                                        5,485 100.0   50.9

  2 Intentional self-harm (suicide) (*U03,X60-X84,Y87.0)  672 12.3    6.2

Photoshop to the rescue!
Money quote: "... more than two-thirds of them have said they are in favour of the publication of average wages by job type and gender at their company (64 %)."

Since when are 64% more than two-thirs?

Sadly, the help is rather limited. All of Europe often shares the same environmental conditions. Energy storage is the only real solution.

I had to analyse Forest gump in my english class. Hell yeah, there is a lot of politcal message in it.
