** "[[https://youtu.be/Lxxk1xSwkwU I had a miscarriage because my mother-in-law beat me]]": The OP's mother-in-law assaults her and stomps on her pregnant belly for having the baby boy she demanded before her sister-in-law, who had a baby girl. In retaliation, she intentionally feeds the hag sweet foods as she has a diabetes history, all with the approval of her family and in-laws.
** "[[https://youtu.be/o3UWdeqDouM This woman somehow thinks she is the one that should have a baby with my husband]]": Sophia's neighbor beat her for getting pregnant with her husband, arguing that she should be the one who carries his baby instead.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze-8MnSp1UI My friend tried to make me have a miscarriage]]": Rinko spiked Kanae Mubita's tea with a uterotonic to cause her a miscarriage because she herself had a miscarriage in the past, which embittered her to the sight of happily pregnant women such as Kanae since she felt the latter didn't work as hard as her to conceive a child.
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3_c3HDpMO4 Passed out after falling while pregnant, waking up in hospital…]]": Melanie fell off a chair whose leg broke off while changing a lightbulb. Turns out her mother-in-law wanted her to miscarry since she was disabled and feared the baby would end up like her.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkDtvTszVWo "I fell into a ditch dug by my mother-in-law and ended up in the hospital…"]]: Melissa's mother-in-law tried to cause her a miscarriage by working her like a slave and demanding she carries heavy things, with her husband defending the abusive MIL. When that didn't work, the [[PitTrap MIL dug a ditch in front of the couple's front yard for Melissa to fall into. Thankfully, her neighbors came to her aid when she fell and while she suffered a broken leg, her baby survived.]]

"Get rid of that baby!"→I reported them to the police...]]'': A pregnant Hazel refused to agree to an abortion on both her mother-in-law and husband's request one too many times, so the former of the two hit her in the belly with a baseball bat.

** It is revealed in ''Literature/AStormOfSwords'' that Lysa Tully of Riverun (widowed Lady Lysa Arryn of the Vale in the present) became pregnant as a very young girl after she slept with her father's ward Petyr Baelish. Lysa revealed her pregnancy to her father, hoping that Hoster Tully would let them wed, but Hoster considers Petyr too lowborn to marry a Tully. Instead he forced Lysa to abort her child -- she was tricked into drinking moon tea. Furthermore, this is implied to be the reason she had several other miscarriages before finally carrying her son Robin to term.

* ''Series/LawAndOrderSvu'': The police are called to a hotel when guests hear the sound of a beating and a teen girl screaming "Stop! Don't!" The girl turns out to be heavily pregnant, so this is suspected to be a motive (above or in addition to traditional domestic abuse). Then it turns out that the girl had come to New York City for an abortion but had wound up finding a conservative "clinic" that repeatedly found excuses not to perform the abortion to stall until their patients either reconsidered or flat out had the child. The beating was a desperate effort to self-abort, it was her idea, and she was actually screaming "''Don't stop!''" to her reluctant boyfriend as both of them pounded on her stomach.
