Yes for any forceful or illegal abortion the persons involved can be booked criminally under various section including IPC 312, if proved can be sentenced as well. You need to contact a local lawyer and you can also stop the concerned person for going for abortion stating your reasons.

There are specific provisions under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, that lay down the guidelines under which an abortion is legal. Further details are needed to determine your case, if it falls under such guidelines.
