Those experiencing domestic violence are facing a reality where an inability to receive reproductive care is also further endangering their lives, new data shows.
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
No, and please stop calling everything rape, it’s diminishes the impact, and that only benefits rapists.
Yes, if you read the article, rape is part of it, but there’s also a lot of other vile and abusive acts and tactics listed, but they aren’t all rape. In fact, a lot of the rise is actual homicide of pregnant women. So is murder now considered rape as well?
My point is, if everything is called rape, then nothing is, and suddenly it becomes much easier to dismiss claims of actual rape, which I don’t think is anyone’s interest, except rapists
