    The article is talking about more than just rape

      This is correct, and it’s an important detail because people should be aware of the variety of ways this abuse plays out

      [National Domestic Violence Hotline vice president of public policy Marium Durrani] explained that reproductive coercion can take the form of any situation in which one partner is exerting power over another in a way that impacts their reproductive health: forcing someone to engage in sexual activity, refusing to use contraception, restricting a partner from seeing a health care provider, telling a partner they are not allowed to receive abortion care.

      That all being said, I’d guess what @ubermeisters meant by their comment (please correct me if I’m wrong) was something more like, “All of these actions are morally equivalent to violent rape,” and I would agree with that
