Abstrakt: This article explores the issue of contraceptive coercion, specifically focusing on the use of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs) such as intrauterine devices (IUDs). It reveals that some doctors in the United States are pressuring women, particularly those who are Black, Latina, young, or low-income, to use LARCs and refusing to remove them when requested. This practice is seen as a reflection of biases in the medical system and a historical attempt to control reproduction. The article also discusses concerns about the stigmatization of certain groups and the erosion of trust in medical providers. Critics argue that the emphasis on LARCs can exclude other contraceptive options and disregard patient preferences. Overall, the issue of contraceptive coercion is seen as part of broader disparities in healthcare and trust between patients and providers. [Extracted from the article]
