It may be the preferred term in certain legal contexts but I don't think that makes it a legal term. 人工妊娠中絶 also appears in Japanese law.

Lawyer reading about 堕胎 crime, says  堕胎 might not be familiar to the reader, but defines using 人工妊娠中絶
http://www.soleil-mlo.jp/blog/ono/645/
それにしても、「堕胎」(だたい)という言葉自体、耳慣れないだろう。一般的な用語である「人工妊娠中絶」と同義であるが、法律家である私でさえ、この罪名を耳にするのは、おそらく、司法試験受験(平成6年)以来だと思う。

  Comments:
I wasn't a fan of "feticide" here(we don't have it on any other terms for abortion), but it seems like there may be some of that implication here.  This is first-and-foremost a medical term, but it appears to be the one adopted by the Japanese legislature, and has a may have a rather stronger association with 堕胎罪. Four kinds codified under law are:
1.堕胎罪
2.同意堕胎罪
3.業務上堕胎罪
4.不同意堕胎罪

In any case, 中絶 or 妊娠中絶 are the more everyday terminology.
