In this brief, we overview a concerning way that healthcare providers and systems can threaten reproductive autonomy: contraceptive coercion. While pressure to use or not use contraception can happen within a variety of contexts, from intimate partner relationships to families to the criminal justice system, here we focus on contraceptive coercion that happens at the healthcare level—that is, individual healthcare providers’ interactions with patients and/or a healthcare system’s policies or initiatives, that lead people to feel pressured to use or not use a birth control method against their wishes.
