Emergency contraception update for US

edited out information about age limitation to emergency contraception, added link to emergency contraception, and updated options for emergency contraception including ranking of efficacyGyno.Janine (talk) 21:47, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

I'd actually suggest removing this paragraph on EC from this article entirely; though well written & accurate, it's not clearly linked to RC & is very specific and US focused, plus EC is already linked in the paragraph above. If you'd like to retain greater detail on EC, I'd suggest shortening to one sentence and adding context to why it's important to RC. GM Cox MS (talk) 21:36, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Males always the perpetrators?

We should either include concrete information that reproductive coercion is defined as being perpetrated by the male, or fix the examples to be less one-sided - "falsely claiming to be taking oral contraceptive" for example. As it is, phrases like "refusal to use male-controlled contraception, interference with or pressure not to use female controlled contraception" clearly only gives the possibility of male-perpetrated reproductive coercion. 95.90.248.151 (talk) 11:40, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

The lead already currently states, "While research remains fragmentary, women in abusive relationships are at higher risk of reproductive coercion and unintended pregnancies." This lets readers know that most of the perpetrators are men. We shouldn't word material to be gender-neutral when it gives the impression that women are just as likely to do what is usually done by men. Of course, some content in the article is gender-neutral, and that's fine when it doesn't mislead. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:48, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

I noticed no female initiated examples of reproductive coercion listed

The Article was careful to use non-specific gender language, but then proceeded to only list Reproductive coercion caused by males(except the entry about sabotage by in-laws) Yet there are instances of women who stop taking birth control in order to continue a failing relationship by birthing a child. Possible situations include becoming pregnant prior to a breakup in order to collect child support payments. While it is certainly difficult to prove, Reproductive coercion can be perpetrated against males simply by abusing trust rather than by violence.

A couple agrees to have sex on the condition that a condom is worn, but then the male takes it off surreptitiously, that is certainly reproductive coercion. By the same token reproductive coercion also occurs if: a couple agrees to have sex on the condition that the female is using birth control pills, but then the female decides to discontinue taking birth control pills after the encounter, thus allowing fertilization by viable sperm still present in her reproductive tract  ````  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.194.22.201 (talk) 10:27, 25 September 2020 (UTC) 

The state

Frankly, government should be included in this list of those who force a woman to have a baby that she otherwise would abort. Kate Cox of Texas was denied an abortion despite the fact that the fetus had a lethal genetic abnormality. The case went to the Texas Supreme Court that ruled against her and her gynecologist. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/us/texas-abortion-kate-cox.html 47.138.89.140 (talk) 10:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
