Coerced Abortion - The Neglected Face of Reproductive Coercion
1Bios Centre, London, UK.
Summary
Reproductive coercion includes behaviors to promote or avoid pregnancy, often by intimate partners. Coerced abortion, though often neglected, appears as prevalent as coercion intended to impregnate.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Health
- Sociology
- Public Health
Background:
- Reproductive coercion involves behaviors influencing pregnancy outcomes.
- It can range in severity and involve intimate partners or others.
- Research is complicated by varying definitions and inclusion of behaviors like contraceptive sabotage.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the evidence on reproductive coercion.
- To understand the prevalence and nature of coerced abortion.
- To explore reasons for the neglect of coerced abortion in research.
Main Methods:
- Narrative review of existing literature.
- Analysis of studies on reasons for abortion.
- Examination of research on intimate partner violence and reproductive coercion.
- Inclusion of data from online forums and blogs.
Main Results:
- Prevalence of reproductive coercion varies widely due to differing definitions and survey inclusions.
- Coerced abortion, when included, shows prevalence comparable to coercion aimed at impregnation.
- Contraceptive sabotage is common but not always included in surveys.
Conclusions:
- Reproductive coercion is a complex issue with diverse manifestations.
- Coerced abortion is a significant aspect of reproductive coercion that requires further attention.
- Standardized definitions and research methodologies are needed to accurately assess prevalence.

Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.

01:28Infertility in Females

Female infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse and affects about 10–15% of couples worldwide. The primary cause of female infertility is ovulatory disorders, which hinder the release of eggs. These disorders can be classified as hypothalamic amenorrhea, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and hyperprolactinemic anovulation disorders.

Reproductive cloning is the process of producing a genetically identical copy—a clone—of an entire organism. While clones can be produced by splitting an early embryo—similar to what happens naturally with identical twins—cloning of adult animals is usually done by a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed, creating an enucleated egg. Then a somatic...

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although...

The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...
