forced abortion
Involuntary pregnancy ending
Forced abortion is the termination of a pregnancy against the pregnant person's will, through coercion, violence, or government mandate.
It may occur through direct physical compulsion, threats, or state policies restricting reproductive choice.
The term appears in discussions of reproductive rights, human trafficking, and authoritarian population control: Activists documented cases of forced abortion under the one-child policy.
