最近在美國鬧的沸沸揚揚的就是墮胎的議題。在美國，墮胎和槍枝管控一樣是個極具爭議的敏感話題，像是前幾天阿拉巴馬州就通過最嚴格墮胎法，不論孕期週數或是否自願懷孕，除非對母體有重大生命威脅，否則一律禁止人工流產；另外喬治亞州的州長簽署了新法案，一旦偵查到胎兒的心跳就不准墮胎！嚴格禁令掀起反彈聲浪，不少影視公司和明星都揚言拒絕在喬治亞州拍片，還有許多女星呼籲婦女「性罷工」，爭取女性身體自主權！
一起來學一下裡面的英文吧！

因為如果翻成"聲請提告"的話 搭上file a petition for divorce
就會變成"聲請提告離婚" 這樣感覺不是很順
如果翻成"訴請離婚"的話 似乎就比較好
所以想請問 把file a petition for... 翻成 "訴請..." 可以嗎?
