Like most women,

Mary didn’t want an abortion...

but her husband can be very persuasive.



As many as 64% of abortions involve coercion. 

Mary’s husband destroyed their home and ordered her to “Get rid of it. Now!”

Julie’s parents locked her in the house for two weeks and then
drove her to the abortion clinic.

Sandra’s husband said he’d leave her if she didn’t abort.

In Massachusetts, an abortion clinic security guard testified that women are routinely threatened and abused by men to make sure they have the abortion.
 

 Coercion can escalate to violence.

A Georgia woman’s husband jumped on her stomach to force an abortion.

A New York woman was forcibly injected with an abortifacient by the baby’s father.

In Florida, a woman forced her daughter to enter an abortion clinic at gunpoint.

 

An unwanted choice is no choice at all.
