Surface Forms

Morphology

forced-birther = forced + birth (semi-transparent) = force + birth + ed + er

The form 'forced' + 'birth' + agentive '-er' is compositionally clear, but the political and derogatory sense is a recent coinage and requires cultural knowledge.

Etymology

Forced-birther joins forced ('made to') and birth ('being born'), so it suggests someone who would make others give birth. It is an insulting word for people who oppose abortion and try to stop others from getting abortion services.
