Hiding birth control and tampering with condoms
According to Women’s Law, reproductive abuse occurs “when a person tries to control your reproductive choices in order to control your life. Reproductive abuse is also often called ‘reproductive coercion.’ Coercion is when a person tries to persuade someone to do something by using force or threats. Reproductive abuse can be a single act, or it can be part of a larger pattern of abusive behaviors.” Tampering with condoms, hiding birth control, and removing condoms during sex with the intention of impregnating someone against their will are all considered forms of reproductive abuse.
