Though abortion is often framed as a woman’s choice, that is \u2014 at best \u2014 a massive simplification. Many women opt for abortion because they believe they have no other choice<\/a>. Still other women are coerced<\/a>, by their partners or their family members. This coercion also takes place by those within the abortion industry, with post-abortive women saying they were manipulated<\/a>, pressured<\/a>, and lied to<\/a>. But some women were physically forced, against their will.<\/p>\n

Last year, a woman named Jennifer spoke to the hosts of Created Equal’s podcast, The Debrief<\/a>, about her experience with forced abortion. She said thought she was getting a prenatal checkup, but things went quickly wrong.<\/p>\n
