Lawmakers across the country have been rapidly working to create more abortion restrictions or update current restrictions. Abortion is an essential part of healthcare. Forced pregnancy is a form of coercive control that impacts many survivors of domestic violence. Having bodily autonomy means having the right to make the best reproductive choices for ourselves and our families.

Abusive partners often attempt to control their partners’ reproductive choices, which can occur through manipulation of birth control/contraceptives, physical violence, or a threat of violence.

State laws to restrict access to abortion have a disproportionate impact on women with lower incomes, particularly women of color, who may not have travel resources to access reproductive care. The demographics and makeup of legislators with the power to implement these bans rarely reflect their constituents’ demographics who are truly impacted by their decisions.

Today, we explore the links between domestic violence and abortion restrictions.
