OK TO CLARIFY THIS IS A VALID FEEDBACK THREAD.
IN NO WAY should non-consentual pregnancy be forced into a teen rated game. If you support assault or forced pregnancy, well thats on you.
I've seen people referring to another thread about babysitting and honestly was no part/aware of it until it was mention here.
Per people referring to this as a game - yes I totally agree that games like movies DO NOT make people go out and do acts of violence or assault in real life. There have been tons of evidence to this point.
HOWEVER that does not mean it cannot be triggering TO PEOPLE who HAVE been assaulted in real life.

Honestly, I think it's a valid concern. I'm kinda of two minds personally. On the one hand, it is a sorta old trope about alien abductions and strange things happening and it is classic to the sims. But uh, those under tones are rather uh...undertone-y so to speak. I myself, have only done this sort of thing intentionally seeking for it for drama's sake. Though you can give the baby back easily though.
An unwanted pregancy is still an unwanted pregenacy for a lot of people and can actually, and I use this in it's proper, actually trigger them. Not to mention we have loads of realist players around here who do use mods like MCC to disallow this stuff. I don't know if a toggle is fesible but I do know it's been mostly nerf'd already. Not certian if there is much more the devs can do, since it's an older expac but hey. Who knows.
With alien abduction you are free to use an in game object as I mentioned before to avoid it altogether. The event is completely in player control without any mods. If someone doesn't want it, it won't happen and if it happens despite then it's a game bug and not game design. And since it's in player's control, what exactly are we are talking about here?
