✍️ Kylie Cheung's book, Coercion: Surviving and Resisting Abortion Bans, explores the connections between reproductive coercion and anti-abortion laws, highlighting how courts have often enabled reproductive coercion and how anti-abortion laws can be wielded against people who are already dealing with domestic violence.
👉 Reproductive coercion is a form of violence that can take many forms, including acts of punishment or control over someone's reproductive decisions. 👉 Anti-abortion laws can be used to punish and control women, and can have a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities. 👉 The book argues that anti-abortion laws are not just about restricting access to abortion, but also about controlling women's bodies and lives. 👉 Anti-abortion laws can be used to target and punish women who are already vulnerable, such as those who are experiencing domestic violence or have been sexually assaulted.
