Study on Forced Pregnancy

Study on Forced Pregnancy: Help for Women Who Face Threat - TIME: Researchers who work in family planning and with victims of domestic violence say women are now being threatened with pregnancy by their partners. Reproductive coercion, as it's known, takes several forms. Partners may verbally or physically threaten women if they use birth control or seek abortions, or they may throw away or damage birth control and remove condoms during sex. It usually takes place within an already abusive relationship, especially those that are emotionally abusive.

Editor: Hey, TIME! How about some equal attention on forced abortion?
