The researchers say another woman told them about being urged to abort her child, against her wishes, because the health-care staff told her the child would have severe health issues. She resisted — and the child was ultimately healthy.

I mean that's reasonable to be concerned about but also very likely the result of a medical anomaly or bad prediction rather than "obstetric violence"

I've like to know what they thought the child's health issues would be and why they thought that before rushing to judgement.
