unwanted pregnancy
Accidental fetal development
An unwanted pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs when the person carrying it did not want to become pregnant—whether due to failed contraception, lack of access to birth control, or sexual assault.
The term appears frequently in discussions of reproductive health and abortion rights: programs to reduce unwanted pregnancy rates.
Distinguished from unplanned pregnancy, which may become wanted once discovered.
