Definition: biện hộ vin vào cớ có thai.
A more thorough explanation: The legal term “defence of pregnancy” refers to a defense that may be raised in criminal cases where a pregnant woman uses force to protect herself or her unborn child from harm. This defense typically asserts that the woman acted in self-defense or defense of others due to the imminent threat posed to her pregnancy. The defense of pregnancy may be considered in cases where the force used by the pregnant woman was reasonable and necessary to prevent harm to herself or her unborn child.
Example: The employee requested a temporary accommodation in the form of modified duties in defense of her pregnancy under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act.
