Thank you so much John Williams for the mention and link to my article. Your article is brilliant and draws on real life observations. I too noticed in the news a remarkable number of attacks on pregnant women. Here too, in Ireland, and everywhere. I thought also it was to do with "primal" issues and the sight of seeing a pregnant woman did something to the brains of the attackers, like they just couldn't bear seeing a woman in that condition, and pick on the woman as an vulnerable target.
