| Forced Abortion |  Legal Protection and Other Options
Don't act as if it is going to be OK to give in to an unwanted abortion to get someone else to leave you alone. (Search abortion stories from women who have had forced abortion, and those from women who were compelled by their beloved or parents.)
The best recommendation to any woman who is being stressed – or physically debilitated – to cause her to have an unwanted abortion is to look for legal counsel, or get help from the Police.
Some women have been gravely injured or killed for refusing to have abortions, and any woman who is afraid of her individual safety needs to take instant action to defend herself.
Person can use different methods to cause a woman to have an abortion such as pestering, violence, threats of violence, threatening to kill, and kidnapping. They are usually considered offenses in countries where abortion is willingly accessible.
In countries where abortion is against the law, any effort to force a woman to have an unwanted abortion is also against the law.
Women can look for legal protection from pestering, violence, and threats of harm by calling the Police, or seeking legal advice.
Women's shelters can “hide” women who scare for their safety, and protection orders can be served against anyone who harasses or threatens pregnant women.
If someone is threatening to commit suicide to force a woman to have an unwanted abortion, call the Police, or a psychiatric facility, for advice.
If you are taken to an abortion clinic by force, tell the employees that you are there against your will, and ask them to call the Police. High levels of security at abortion clinics should guarantee your private safety. Do not sign any forms at the clinic, instead write something like “Help me” or “Call Police” on the form instead of your signature.
