ADDENDUM TO REPORT: It's unclear to me why a very rational question is answered with "I'm not sure" or "I don't know."  These are not reasonable answers per Community Guidelines.

If one doesn't know the answer to a question, there's no compelling reason to answer it.  Other then gaining two pathetic points and having a display that reads "Whoa! You've Just Earned 2 bloody points."  This is juvenile.

Answer 3

US Maternal mortality rate was 13 per 100,000 births in 2004, according to medicalnewstoday.com
