Abuse by Birth Control Sabotage
- More than one in seven had experienced birth control sabotage at some point in their lives.
- One in five said their partners had pressured them to get pregnant.
- About one in three women who reported partner violence also reported reproductive coercion.
- Reproductive coercion was reported by one in eight women who had never experienced other forms of partner violence—which means it can also happen in relationships that are not otherwise abusive.
