Chinese term or phrase: continue a pregnancy
Every woman has the right to decide whether to continue a pregnancy.

Someone has translated it as 每个妇女都有权决定是否继续妊娠.

"继续妊娠"?, 怪怪的。我打算改成"是否中止妊娠”,估计肯定通不过,因为他们要做BACK-TRANSLATE,接下来就会认为我误译。

帮帮我呀,憋死我了。

Explanation:
我觉得您译得很好,如果要真正符合汉语习惯就要说“是否中止妊娠”。可是为了BACK-TRANSLATE,您就 "继续妊娠" 吧,反正现在怪怪的汉语多着呢。另,改为“是否要继续妊娠状态”是不是更符合汉语习惯一点?(当然我感觉怎么改都不够好,还是“中止妊娠”最好)。
