Reproductive coercion (also called coerced reproduction, reproductive control or reproductive abuse) is a collection of behaviors that interfere with decision-making related to reproductive health.[1] These behaviors are meant to maintain power and control related to reproductive health by a current, former, or hopeful intimate or romantic partner,[2][3] but they can also be perpetrated by parents or in-laws.[4] Coercive behaviors infringe on individuals' reproductive rights and reduce their reproductive autonomy.[5]
There are three forms of reproductive coercion, including pregnancy coercion, birth control sabotage, and controlling the outcome of a pregnancy.[1][6]
Reproductive coercion and intimate partner violence are strongly correlated; however, reproductive coercion can occur in relationships in which physical and sexual violence are not reported.[1] Reproductive coercion and unintended pregnancy are strongly associated, and this association is stronger in individuals who have experienced intimate partner violence.[1] While research remains fragmentary, women in abusive relationships are at higher risk of reproductive coercion and unintended pregnancies.[7] Reproductive coercion is considered a serious public health issue.[2][3]
