California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Zaring, 10 Cal.Rptr.2d 263, 8 Cal.App.4th 362 (Cal. App. 1992):
"This stern admonition doubtless made it apparent to appellant that in the event she became pregnant during the period of probation the surreptitious procuring of an abortion might be the only practical way to avoid going to prison. A condition of probation that might place a defendant in this position, and, if so, be coercive of abortion, is in our view improper." (People v. Pointer, supra, 151 Cal.App.3d at pp. 1140-1141, 199 Cal.Rptr. 357.)
