End Abuse Expresses Fear That Supreme Court Decision Dobbs v. Jackson Will Have Drastic Consequences for Survivors of Domestic Violence
Madison – Today in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, destroying the constitutional right to abortion and leaving states to decide the legality of abortion. This decision effectively rolls back bodily and sexual autonomy for those who can become pregnant, and this is especially dangerous for survivors of domestic violence. End Abuse recognizes that survivors of domestic violence often experience reproductive coercion, including birth control sabotage and forced pregnancy. Moreover, many survivors of domestic violence experience increased abuse while pregnant. Now, without the ability to make their own reproductive health decisions, survivors are at greater risk.
End Abuse is committed to empowering survivors and supporting their right to bodily autonomy. The End Abuse website contains information and resources about the connection between domestic violence and reproductive justice under the Resources tab on the homepage.
