Ob-gyns sound alarm on ‘contraceptive sabotage’

NEW YORK, Jan 24: Doctors should ask teen girls and women whether their partners are trying to force them to get pregnant or otherwise ‘reproductively coercing’ them, according to a group of ob-gyns. That could include pressuring women to have sex – possibly without a condom or other birth control, forcing them to continue (or end) a pregnancy or intentionally exposing them to sexually transmitted infections, according to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).
