Sterilization
It’s not possible to understand present-day reproductive coercion, or its lasting impact on marginalized communities, without understanding the United States’ long history of sterilization abuse.
Earlier today, the FDA announced that it is taking steps to make it easier for women considering sterilization to get reliable information about Essure, an implanted device. The Network recommended that the FDA take these steps, and we’re pleased that they’re taking action on this important women’s health issue.
