Well, the death rate for births in the US right now is .9 per 10,000 which is thankfully pretty low compared to what it used to be and is about the same as driving to work for a year. A lot lower than the percentage of people in this study who got depression and committed suicide, for example (though who knows if that was causal).
Of course in terms of discomfort, trauma, having your life turned upsidedown, etc you certainly can't compare paying alimony to having to give birth to a child.
